“The 2019 Le Marquis de Calon Segur is a terrific second wine. Ample, bold and dramatic, the 2019 packs a huge punch. Black cherry, plum, new leather, graphite and incense build as this flamboyant, opulent Saint-Estephe shows off its considerable allure. The 2019 is a big wine, but the 15.1% alcohol is not especially evident.” by Vinous Media, AG, 2022.

Legend has it, The Marquis de Segur is quoted as saying: “I make my wine at Lafite and Latour, but my heart is in Calon.” That famous saying lives forever on the label of Chateau Calon Segur, where the drawing of a heart is prominently featured on the logo.  It is the love of wine and the wine of love.
