With its iconic heart on the label and its style blending power, depth, and emotion, Château Calon Ségur embodies one of the most endearing and noble expressions of the Médoc. Third Grand Cru Classé of 1855, it is also one of the oldest and most respected estates of Saint-Estèphe.

A love story for the terroir

The name "Calon" once referred to a small boat used to transport wood on the Gironde. The estate took off in the 18th century with the Marquis de Ségur, also owner of Lafite and Latour, who declared:
“I make wine at Lafite and Latour, but my heart is at Calon.”
A phrase that became legend and forever engraved on every bottle.

A unique terroir at the heart of the appellation

The vineyard of 55 hectares rests on a mound of deep gravel, mixed with clay, typical of Saint-Estèphe. This terroir produces wines with a solid structure, a refreshing acidity, and a remarkable longevity. The grape composition is dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, supported by Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and a touch of Petit Verdot.

A racy style, always in tension

The wines of Calon Ségur combine density and refinement, with noble tannins and a vibrant energy. Their aromatic expression evolves beautifully over time, moving from blackberry and black cherry to nuances of cedar, truffle, and tobacco. These are emotional wines, powerful but never demonstrative.
