On October 18th 2021, we embarked on an enriching journey to Bordeaux, where we had the privilege of visiting the exquisite Château Calon-Ségur, situated in the picturesque Saint-Estèphe region. This renowned winery, steeped in history and tradition, has graced Bordeaux's wine landscape for generations.

Château Calon-Ségur which was established in 1989, has a venerable heritage dating back centuries, contributing to Bordeaux's illustrious winemaking history. This esteemed estate is a testament to the enduring excellence of Bordeaux wines.

During our visit, we had the pleasure of indulging in two remarkable vintages:

  1. Le Marquis 2019: This wine, likely representing the estate's second label, offered a delightful glimpse into the craftsmanship of Château Calon-Ségur. It presented a harmonious and approachable expression of their esteemed terroir.

  2. Calon-Ségur 2016: The 2016 vintage, widely celebrated as a hallmark year for Bordeaux, was masterfully captured by Château Calon-Ségur, showcasing their unwavering commitment to producing wines of exceptional quality and aging potential.

Our excursion to Château Calon-Ségur was a journey into the heart of Bordeaux's winemaking heritage. The wines we had the privilege of tasting served as a testament to the estate's dedication to crafting wines of elegance and distinction. It was an experience that deepened our appreciation for Bordeaux's rich viticultural tradition and the artistry behind these extraordinary wines.
