2024 Calon Segur

Auslieferung bis zum Herbst 2027!
Delivery until Fall 2027!

Beautiful red ruby expression. A slimmer more finessed expression of Calon than in recent years, that gives it less estate signature than some, but this has beautiful cassis bud, rose petals, peony, iris, cocoa bean and graphite. Subtle but with real charm. 3.60 pH. 45 hl/ha. 100% new oak. Vincent Millet director, Harvest 23 September to 9 October.

(St-Estèphe; 82% Cabernet Sauvignon; 9% Merlot; 8% Cabernet Franc; 1% Petit Verdot; a final yield of 45 hl/ha; pH 3.6; 100% new oak but it doesn’t show; 13.1% alcohol; tasted at the property; Eric Boissenot is the consultant here). Radiantly Cabernet and very expressive aromatically. Black currant and black berry, damson and dark plums, a little mulberry and loganberry. A touch of cedar and graphite, pencil shavings and a hint of leather. A little nutmeg too. On the palate, this is characterised by a plump berry and stone fruit and by its velvet texture. It is not especially ample but very soft and spherical and dense at the centre. It is also long and quite linear with the diameter of the spherical core gradually tapering, and always soft and supple. Stylish and nicely done.

Deep garnet-purple colored. It's a little shy to start off, needing some swirling to bring out notes of black raspberries and red cherries, followed by wafts of cassis, mint tea, and milk chocolate with a hint of pencil lead. The light to medium-bodied palate delivers very good tension and bright, red berry flavors with savory sparks and fine-grained tannins, finishing with a refreshing lift.

Deep garnet-purple colored. Features scents of fresh blackberries and black raspberries with hints of pine sap, pencil shavings, and Provence herbs in the background. The light to medium-bodied palate is light on its feet and vibrant with a lively line and lightly chewy tannins, finishing earthy.
