Self | Rating: 90
Medium mohawgany, the nose is primary and fresh, herbal and minty. Medium bodied. Nicely balanced and a great old Calon that I so very much adore, tannic but a great mouthful never the less. Slightly better than the 55' but light years behind the 49'. Very good 66'Author: BORDEAUXLICIOUS
Chateau Calon-Segur is a 3eme Cru Classe estate located in St. Estephe. The property consists of a 74-hectare vineyard that grows Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The recognizable heart motif on the labels stems from the original owner, Marquis de Segur, who declared, "My heart belongs to Calon," despite owning such estates as Lafite and Latour. Since 1894, the chateau has been owned by the Gasqueton family. Recent successful vintages include 1995, 1996 and 2000. Calon-Segur is typified by its notable strength and concentrated fruit.
