2012 Château Calon-Ségur

Sale price $155.00 | Sold Out | Ready to Drink

The 2012 Château Calon-Ségur captures the charm of a more understated vintage, offering approachability alongside Saint-Estèphe’s signature structure. The clay-limestone soils provided the vines with steady water retention, ensuring balance during a warm summer. Aromas of plum, cassis, and floral notes transition into a silky palate of ripe red fruit, graphite, and earthy undertones, making it an excellent candidate for early drinking or medium-term cellaring.

Firm and structured, this beautifully concentrated wine has plenty of the dark tannins that come out of Cabernet Sauvignon in Saint-Estèphe while allowing room for juicy fruit. The wood aging is still showing, giving some spice to the wine. At the end, it's the density of the wine that's so impressive. Drink from 2024.

Dense but pure, offering suave plum, raspberry coulis and black currant fruit, and tobacco, tar and iron nuances. This is integrated and refined through the long finish, but lacks the vintage's austerity. Very nicely done. Best from 2017 through 2025. 6,665 cases made.

A silky and polished red with currant, walnut and black truffle character. Full body, silky tannins and a fine finish. It reminds me of the excellent 1995. Better in 2017.

The Estate

Château Calon-Ségur's history extends to the Gallo-Roman era, with its name derived from "calones," referring to small boats navigating the Gironde estuary. In the 18th century, the estate was owned by the Marquis Nicolas-Alexandre de Ségur, who famously stated, "I make my wine at Lafite and Latour, but my heart is in Calon," a sentiment reflected in the heart emblem on the château's label.
