The 2022 Château Calon Ségur, 3ème Grand Cru Classé en 1855 is an exceptional Saint-Estèphe from one of Bordeaux's most admired Third Growth estates. Dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, the outstanding 2022 vintage combines remarkable concentration with freshness and precision, showcasing the château's signature balance and longevity. The nose is intensely aromatic with blackcurrant, blackberry and cassis, layered with cedar, violet, graphite and subtle spice.
On the palate, it is full-bodied with vibrant acidity and beautifully polished tannins. Flavours of ripe dark berries, liquorice and fine French oak are supported by a distinctive mineral backbone, leading to a long, refined finish. The structure and freshness of the vintage give the wine exceptional cellaring potential while maintaining impressive elegance.
Ben's Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding choice for collectors and lovers of classic Left Bank Bordeaux. Pair with roast lamb, beef fillet, venison, duck breast or aged hard cheeses. While approachable with careful decanting, it will reward patient cellaring over the next 20–30 years.
