Château Calon-Segur 2015 (750 ml)

99 bod. - James Suckling

Srednjeg do punog tijela na nepcu, ovaj grand cru classé sastoji se od 82% Cabernet Sauvignona, 16% Merlota i 2% Petit Verdota, a odležavao je 20 mjeseci u 100% novim francuskim hrastovim bačvama. Njegov predivan buket odiše elegancijom i snagom, s očaravajućim aromama kupina, crnog ribizla, kedra i duvana, uz dašak ruža i tamne čokolade. Ovo vino će predivno sazrijevati s godinama, ali ako ga odlučite piti sada, najbolje ga je upariti sa jelima od divljači, pernate divljači ili klasičnim jelima od crvenog mesa.

Château Calon-Segur, najsjeverniji od svih Grand-Crus Classés u Médocu, poznat je po srcu na svojoj etiketi. To je zbog bivšeg vlasnika, markiza de Ségura, koji je, iako je posjedovao imanja poput Lafitea i Latoura, izjavio: "Moje srce pripada Calonu."

99 points - James Suckling

Medium- to full-bodied on the palate, this grand cru classé is composed of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot, and was aged in 100% new French oak barrels for 20 months.  Its lovely bouquet is full of finesse and power, with gorgeous aromas of blackberries, currants, cedar and tobacco... with just a touch of roses and dark chocolate.   This will age beautifully but, if you drink it now, pair it with venison, game (including poultry) or a range of classic red meat dishes.  

Chateau Calon-Segur, the most northerly of all the Médoc Grand-Crus Classés, is the château with a heart on its label. That is because the former owner, Marquis de Ségur, though he owned such Estates as Lafite and Latour, he declared "My heart belongs to Calon".
