Harvested all in September and pulled from their 48 hectares of vines, the blend is 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc and the rest Petit Verdot that spent 20 months all in new French oak, and it hit 13.2% natural alcohol. My notes started and ended with \"wow,\" and this riveting Saint-Estèphe offers a heavenly bouquet of red and black currants, truffly earth, iron, espresso and tobacco leaf. With incredible purity of fruit, full-bodied richness and ultra-fine tannins, it's a deep, pure, layered 2020 that deserves at least 7–8 years of bottle age and will cruise for 40–50 years in cold cellars. Hats off to the team at Calon Ségur.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e98 Points - Decanter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery deep perfumed nose; the 1% Petit Verdot is quite potent and intense with ripe fruit aromas. Super-smooth and silky on the palate however, just so juicy and lovely with ample balance. A lovely energy and freshness comes across as both sharp and well defined – succulent but remaining intense and linear in terms of structure. The weight comes from plump, ripe fruit – the blackcurrant, black cherry and plum offset by a cooling minerality and wet stone, pencil lead minerality. It has richness for sure, the concentration is there, but also sleight of hand, so well executed and long. Really very impressive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2020 Calon-Ségur is a brilliant wine from an estate in the ascendant. Wafting from the glass with aromas of cassis, red berries, fresh mint, pencil shavings, violets and rose petals, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with a vibrant core of fruit, powdery structuring tannins and a long, perfumed finish. Integrated and harmonious, this pure, concentrated and dynamic wine is one of the finest vintages that Vincent Millet and his team have produced to date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97 Points - Wine Enthusiast\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wine has a touch of spice to go with its powerful black currant flavors. It is concentrated, and the 78% Cabernet Sauvignon gives great structure and power. The wine has immense aging potential. Drink from 2028.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96 Points - James Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlueberries, blackberries, spearmint, currants and sweet spices on the nose. Mocha and walnuts, too. Lots of flavor here, with a medium to full body and muscular yet velvety tannins that melt seamlessly into the wine. Long, polished and delicious already. Keeps going. Better from 2025.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95 Points - Wine Spectator\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is among the more backward wines of the vintage, showing a slightly burly mix of chestnut, warm paving stone, bay leaf and burnished leather notes amid a densely packed core of black currant and bitter plum reduction. Really riveted, with a warm cast iron spine and a mouthwatering savory edge driving the finish. Lovely character in this wine. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2026 through 2040.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Connect Logistics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43841508147430,"sku":"888324","price":270.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0567\/3759\/5545\/files\/Chateau_Calon_Segur.webp?v=1783109544","url":"https:\/\/www.bswliquor.com\/products\/chateau-calon-segur-2021","provider":"BSW Liquor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
