Calon Ségur

3ème Grand Cru Classé

Located to the north of the little village of Saint-Estèphe, Château Calon Ségur is the northernmost of the classified growths of the Médoc.

One of the most wellknown of his appellation too. His vineyard, entirely surrounded by a stone wall, gravel and clay conserved his initial dimensions from the 1855 classification: 55 hectares on amazing gravel outcrops.

The wine of Calon Ségur is a reflection of his terroir: rare, authentic, moving. With much character, it combines great softness and exceptional intensity.

All the magic of Calon draws on this balance.

In 2012, this third classified growth  was bought by a French insurance group. With this change of ownerchip, Château Calon Ségur opened a new chapter in his history.

The restructuring of the vineyard, the construction of a new vathouse and the enlargement of the ageing cellar allowed, since 2016, a better expression of the secrets of its terroir.
