WINE ENTHUSIAST

Wine Enthusiast

Fine tannins give this wine its structure and its essence. It is a wine constructed with firmness, bringing out a dry core, allied to a more velvet character. The black fruits are developing well and the ensemble of the wine will be in perfect harmony. Drink from 2024.

ROBERT PARKER'S WINE ADVOCATE

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Calon-Ségur features warm plums, cassis, baked cherries and mulberries, earth, meats and cedar on the nose with notes of lavender and olives. The palate is medium-bodied, elegant and intense with firm, fine-grained tannins and great length, finishing minerally. This wine was aged in 100 new French oak barrels for 20 months. The blend is 76 Cabernet Sauvignon, 13 Merlot, 2 Cabernet Franc and 2 Petit Verdot.

DECANTER

This is gorgeous. Rich, silky, bright and perky, and full of grace. A real purity to the blueberry and blackberry fruits, and soft elongated tannins. Highly recommend for its classicism. Has the austerity of 2017 but gives it real polish, and it raises its game through the palate. 19 months aging.

Very deep colour. Spicy coffee-ish and black fruit aromas. Very intense and profound. Deep and structured with a wonderful velvet texture and multi-layered fruit flavours. Calon-Ségur does it again. A sumptuous and multi-layered wine with excellent tannins, acidity and fruit extract in balance. Wonderful. First Growth quality.

WINE SPECTATOR

Wine Spectator

Ripe and focused, featuring a solid core of plum and black cherry fruit, supported by a well-embedded cast iron note. Sweet tobacco, bay leaf and lavender details fill in the background while the fruit takes an encore on the finish. A very solid effort. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2021 through 2034.

As you’d expect, the grand vin ratchets up the intensity. The 2017 Chateau Calon Segur is 76 Cabernet Sauvignon, 13 Merlot, and 2 each of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot aged 20 months all in new barrels. This deep, inky hued 2017 boasts medium to full-bodied aromas and flavors of creme de cassis, leafy herbs, and mineral nuances. It stays tight and compact on the palate, has wonderful Saint-Estephe Cabernet character, ripe tannins, and is just a classic, balanced effort that will benefit from 4-6 years of bottle age and evolve for 25+ years.

JAMES SUCKLING

Graphite, wild herbs, bracken, violets and such spicy black and blue berries. The palate has impressive concentration, yet very supple, charming texture. Such impressively articulated tannin detail with very fine, long tannins and deeply integrated oak. This wine is so full of flavor and interest from start to finish. A blend of 76 cabernet sauvignon, 13 merlot, 9 cabernet franc and 2 petit verdot. Needs three to four year to come around. Try in 2023 and onwards.
