Calon Segur 3ème Grand Cru Classé Saint-Estèphe, 2002

Calon Ségur 2002 is a classic Saint-Estèphe from one of Bordeaux’s most historic estates, offering the structure and depth that have made the property a benchmark for the appellation. As a Third Growth Classified Growth, it combines pedigree, longevity, and the kind of firm, ageworthy profile collectors value.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep garnet core with mature brick-tinged edges, reflecting its bottle age. The nose can unfold with blackcurrant, plum, cedar, tobacco, graphite, and earthy notes, with a graceful savory complexity emerging over time. On the palate, expect a layered but still disciplined wine: dark fruit, dried herbs, forest floor, and mineral accents wrapped in firm tannins and lively acidity. The finish is often long and refined, with the vintage’s maturity adding softness and nuance. 2002 has generally reached a very expressive stage, though well-stored bottles can continue to evolve for several more years.

Production
Sourced from the gravelly and clay-limestone soils of Saint-Estèphe, Calon Ségur benefits from the appellation’s cool Atlantic influence, which helps preserve freshness and structure. The estate is known for meticulous vineyard work and traditional Bordeaux vinification, with harvest timed for optimal ripeness and grapes typically fermented parcel by parcel to preserve terroir expression.

Food & Serving
This wine is an excellent match for roasted lamb, beef Wellington, game birds, duck breast, and mushroom-based dishes, as well as aged hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 30–60 minutes if the bottle is showing well; for older bottles, a gentler opening and shorter decant are usually best.

Producer
Château Calon Ségur is one of the oldest estates in Saint-Estèphe and has long been admired for its noble, structured style and remarkable aging potential. Classified as a Third Growth in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification, it holds a respected place in the Médoc hierarchy and is instantly recognizable by the heart on its label, a symbol associated with its historic identity and enduring reputation.
