Tasting Notes

The 2006 Calon Segur was current winemaker Vincent Millets's first vintage. In many ways you can see it as one of the last of the "Old Style" Calon Segur wines with higher percentage of Merlot than nowadays (the 2006 consists of 33% merlot), while i aver that the tannins are not as fine as they are nowadays. The merlot component is vividly expressed on the nose with ravishing ripe cherries, kirsch and strawberry, just slightly smudged by the alcohol. The palate is medium-bodied with chewy tannin, quite sexy in style but it dose not have the class of more recent vintages and it seems to have remained tough up on the finish. It will loosen up with time, so afford this another 6-8 years in bottle. Tasted January 2016 

Pairs well with

Beef, Game (Deer, Venison), Poultry, Lamb
