The 2023 Le C de Calon Ségur is the third wine of Château Calon Ségur from Saint-Estèphe, Bordeaux, made from 61% Merlot, 37% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc. The nose is bright and fruit-driven with red berries and cherry, complemented by subtle chocolate and classic savoury notes.

On the palate, it is medium-bodied with fresh acidity, supple tannins and a smooth, creamy texture. Matured for around 14 months in seasoned French oak barrels, it retains its fresh fruit character while developing gentle complexity, leading to a delicate and balanced finish.

Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for Bordeaux drinkers who enjoy fresh fruit, supple tannins and an approachable expression of Saint-Estèphe. Enjoy it now or cellar over the next 5–8 years as further savoury complexity develops. Ideal with roast lamb, grilled beef, roast chicken, duck or mushroom dishes.

About the region

Bordeaux

Bordeaux is blended wine, built around the Gironde estuary. On the left bank, deep gravel suits Cabernet Sauvignon, which anchors the firm, long-ageing reds of the Médoc and Pessac-Léognan. On the right bank, cooler clay and limestone favour Merlot and Cabernet Franc, giving the softer, earlier-drinking wines of Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. Upriver at Sauternes, autumn mists bring the botrytis that concentrates Sémillon into one of the great sweet wines.
