This is the “third” wine of famed classed-growth Chateau Calon Segur. From younger vines, this is made for earlier drinking while you wait for the Grand Vin to mature.

A Saint-Estèphe of stature and vertical intensity, the 2021 Calon Ségur dazzles from the very first taste. Spice, menthol, licorice, black cherry, mint and espresso are some of the many notes that build with a bit of coaxing. The 2021 clocks in at a mo...
