The 2022 Le C de Calon Ségur is a refined Bordeaux from the team behind the renowned Château Calon Ségur in Saint-Estèphe. Produced from carefully selected vineyard parcels, this Merlot-led blend offers an approachable expression of the estate's signature style, combining vibrant fruit with freshness and balance. The nose is inviting with aromas of black cherry, blackberry and red plum, complemented by violet, cedar and subtle spice.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with silky tannins and lively acidity, delivering flavours of ripe dark berries, cassis and cocoa alongside gentle oak and a touch of graphite. The finish is smooth and well-balanced, making it an enjoyable Bordeaux that retains the finesse and structure associated with the Calon Ségur name.
Ben's Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for those looking to experience the style of Calon Ségur in a more approachable and everyday expression. Pair with roast lamb, grilled beef, duck breast, mushroom dishes or mature hard cheeses. Enjoy now for its youthful freshness or cellar for the next 5–8 years.
