Lobenberg: 2003: Dunkles Rubinrot, fast schwarz. Enorm tiefes Bouquet mit viel Brombeere. Der Mund wird vollständig ausgekleidet von reifen, dunklen Beeren. Im Mund sehr rund und voluminös, satte Tannine aber unendlich weich. Der Wein scheint schon fast trinkbar, perfekt entwickelt. In dieser Fülle und Üppigkeit gab es Calon Segur noch nie, er wird auf Grund der satten Tannine ein langes Leben haben. Der beste Calon, den es je gab, großes Kompliment. 98/100 *** 2010; 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot. Die Ernte wurde bis Mitte Oktober abgeschlossen. Schwarz mit violettem Rand. Erstaunlich rassige Nase für den Jahrgang, Brombeere, Bitterschokolade, etwas Lakritz, Cassis, alles sehr versammelt. Auch frische Zwetschge dabei, rote Johannisbeere. Die Rassigkeit und die Frische dominiet über die schöne Fülle. Auch im Mund ähnliche Frische zeigend, immer schlank und voller Finesse bleibend. Praline, Milchschokolade, Cassis, Brombeere, rote Johannisbeere und ein Hauch Kirsche. Hohe Säure, total poliertes, geschliffenes Tannin, hohe Spannung zeigend, feine Länge. Bei Calon Segur wirkt das jahrgangsspezifische hohe Glyzerin und der Alkohol kaum spürbar. Hier im nördlichen St. Estephe überwiegt die Cabernet und die Merlot hat nicht so viel Üppigkeit und Süße ausprägen können. Der Jahrgang ist rassig und frisch im nördlichen St. Estephe. Calon ist für den Jahrgang sicherlich einer der spannungsgeladensten und dynamischsten Weine. Traumhafte Finesse, schlank und rassig, berauschend schön, in der Bewertung Potenzial nach oben! 95-96+/100 *** 2016: Das Weingut hat 55 Hektar, davon 45 Hektar in Produktion. 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot. Der Generaldirektor ist Laurent Dufau und seit ewigen Zeiten ist der Weinmacher Vincent Mellet. Önologischer Berater und Superstar des Medocs, der alle Premier Crus berät, ist Eric Boissenot. Eric Boissenot ist bekannt dafür, dass er Frische im Wein erhält. Er erntet nie zu spät, nie in Überreife. Das ist eigentlich sein Markenzeichen. Das Ganze wird gepaart mit immer sehr niedrigen Erträgen pro Pflanze. Das heißt Dichtbepflanzung. Hier sind wir inzwischen auf 8.000 Pflanzen pro Hektar. Natürlich alles per Hand gelesen. Zusätzlich danach händische und mechanische Sortierung der entrappten Beeren u.a. mit speziellen Rütteltischen und danach nochmal eine Handsortierung. Auf Calon Segur wird immer schon alles zu 100% entrappt, was im nördlichen Teil des Medoc durchaus Sinn macht, denn hier gibt es häufig auch etwas grüne Rappen. Der Jahrgang 2016 hat 14% Alkohol, eine totale Säure von 3,75 und anders als in anderen Jahren, ist hier die Assemblage 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Cabernet Franc, 20% Merlot und 2% Petit Verdot. Der pH-Wert liegt bei stattlichen 3,6. 20 Tage Vergärung, 100% Barrique, Spontanvergärung. Calon Segur 2016 ist so ganz anders als der 2015er. 2015 gab es hier oben im nördlichen Medoc noch einige Regenprobleme mit denen ein leichter Hauch Unreife einherging. Die Ernte in 2016 begann, entsprechend der Philosophie von Eric Boissenot, relativ früh, nämlich am 01. Oktober, und sie war am 15. Oktober komplett beendet. Dementsprechend haben wir eine wunderbar frische Aromatik in der Nase, aber auch ganz reife Frucht. Ganz anders eben als 2015. Obwohl die Merlot in ihrem Anteil gar nicht so hoch ist, kommt sie doch mit der frischen Zwetschge und der schwarzen Kirsche gut durch. Aber auch feiner Eukalyptus, Minze, dann erst kommt auch ein Hauch Cassis und Brombeere. Aber alles sehr fein bleibend, sehr schwebend. Total balancierte, ausgewogene Nase. Der Mund noch aromatischer als die Nase. Der Wein ist köstlich und das ist schon etwas Besonderes hier auf Calon Segur. So jung getrunken, hat er doch häufig einen recht stürmischen Angang mit massiven Tanninen. 2016 ist das Tannin total geschliffen, butterweich, ganz fein und trotzdem haben wir die Würze Saint Estèphes. Wir haben schwarze Johannisbeere noch vor der Brombeere und total über der schwarzen Kirsche liegend. Mit total viel Grip, feiner Säure, langer mineralischer salziger Spur auf der Zunge. Und einen Calon Segur von einer Finesse, Feinheit und Frühform, wie man das selten trifft. Trotzdem bleibt die Frische erhalten. Definitiv kein Mangel an Säure, aber 2016 einfach auf einem unheimlich hohen Balance Level. In so guter Frühform habe ich Calon Segur noch nie probiert in meinen 25 Jahren. Das ist echt ein schicker Wein. Und trotzdem bleibt er ein typischer Saint Estèphe. Gefällt mir sehr, sehr gut. Eigentlich best ever und 100, aber Cos und Montrose sind einfach so sensationell gut, deshalb die fast gemeine Abwertung zu: 98-99/100

Suckling über: Sammlerbox: »The Book«

-- Suckling: 1995: I always loved this wine from the first time I tasted it in 1998. It has such purity and power yet it's reserved and beautiful. It's one of the best Calons ever. I drank a bottle with some friends in Manhattan last week and it was the wine of the evening. It was full-bodied with silky tannins and a focused and intense finish. Lots of currant and berry character and hints of dried spices. It's finally opening up and giving real pleasure now like so many 1995 Bordeaux at the moment.97/1002003: This shows so wonderfully now with a dense palate yet a delicate chocolate, mineral and walnut skin. Full and velvety. Wonderful with juicy length and a long finish. Almost Burgundian in texture. 94/100 2010: Sure pure fruit to this red with a minerality and floral undertone. You can smell the warm stones. Full body, with a beautiful depth of fruit and velvety tannins. Dense and balanced. Layered with a light salty and meaty character as well. Great length. Mostly Cabernet Sauvignon. 97/100 2016: Wow. This is the Calon we have been waiting for! Intensity and power. Chewy and polished tannins. Full body, great depth. It goes on for minutes. Shows a classic, historical character that really excites me. The essence of this estate and St.-Estèphe. Best ever? 98-99/100

Galloni über: Sammlerbox: »The Book«

-- Galloni: 1989: The 1989 Calon-Ségur is a vintage that I have tasted regularly over the years. I tasted this wine on two separate occasions, firstly at the property in December 2018 and secondly at a dinner in London in July 2019. Strangely, the latter was a far superior bottle. At 30-years of age it sports thin bricking on the rim, not dissimilar the 1989 Cos d’Estournel. The bouquet on the ex-château bottle was surprisingly light and ferrous whereas the bottle in London bestows far more red fruit laced with iron filing and sandalwood. Observing its evolution in glass over 30 minutes it evolves satisying cohesion with irresistible sous-bois and more dried flower scents. The palate on both bottles is medium-bodied, though perversely felt more rustic, the tannins coarser on the ex-château bottle. The bottle in London was framed by my pliant tannins and certainly displayed more fruit with an array of gorgeous brambly red fruit, thyme and tobacco notes. And whereas the Bordeaux bottle attenuated towards the finish, this London bottle came across more generous and with grip. I scored the Bordeaux bottle in the high 80s, however the London bottle was an absolute joy amidst much grander vinous company and my score reflects this. Tasted 2019 93/100 1995: Good deep red-ruby color. Black cherry, leather, olive and a hint of crystallized berries; fresher on the nose than the '97. Sweet, firmly structured and very nicely balanced, with strong but integrated acidity and very good flavor definition. Tannins are ripe and fine. 91/100 , 2003: Full ruby-red color. Very fresh aromas of blackberry, cassis, licorice and dark chocolate; not at all surmuri Then ripe but aromatic and juicy in the mouth, with penetrating, rather powerful flavors of dark berries, minerals and dark chocolate. Conveys an impression of inner-mouth energy, one side-effect of which is that the wine's substantial density is partly hidden today. Finishes with very fine but firm tannins and superb persistence. This is absorbing its 50% new oak very well. 2010: (a blend of 86% cabernet sauvignon, 12% merlot, and 2% petit verdot; pH 3.7; 13.7% alcohol) Bright ruby-purple. Complex, pure aromas of fresh blueberry, blackcurrant, truffle, violet and black pepper are accented by sexy new oak (100% this year, up from 90% in 2009). Began a bit brooding in the middle palate but gained in pliancy and richness with air, showing enticingly pure and remarkably concentrated flavors of dark berries lifted by spices and very harmonious acids. This gorgeous, seamless wine finishes extremely long, with very smooth if youthfully assertive tannins, and a lingering note of violet. A huge wine of great class and purity but one that will require enormous patience; along with Latour, this is the most backward of all the great Bordeaux of the 2010 vintage. It is also one of the very best: it reminded me of the monumental 1966 made here and I believe it will go down as one of the all time great Calon-Segurs. Flowering at Calon-Segur was very homogeneous and rapid in 2010, unlike in many other Bordeaux properties, allowing for even ripening of the berries and proper physiological maturity of tannins, something that was common to the best wines of 2010. Beginning with this vintage, the talented and soft-spoken Eric Boissenot, the main consulting winemaker to many of the Left Bank's great wines, has also begun consulting at Calon-Segur. He and Calon-Segur's technical director Vincent Millet were in the same enology class at Bordeaux University and also previously worked together at Chateau Margaux. 95+/100 2016: The 2016 Calon Ségur is dense and radiant on the palate, just as it was from barrel. Even with all of its intensity, the 2016 is distinguished by its sense of freshness, lift and nuance, much of which comes from the 18% Cabernet Franc in the blend. Sweet floral, spice and minty notes add aromatic intensity to a core of sweet red cherry and plum fruit. There is plenty of underlying structure, but the tannins are sweet, silky and perfectly ripe. In short, the 2016 Calon Ségur is a wine of pure and total sensuality. Technical Director Vincent Millet and his team did a tremendous job with the 2016. Tasted three times. 97/100

Parker über: Sammlerbox: »The Book«

-- Parker: 1989: An underrated wine, the 1989 Calon-Ségur is drinking beautifully, unfurling to reveal aromas of cherries and dark berries mingled with notions of cigar box, loamy soil, black truffles and grilled meats. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and muscular, with a generous core of fruit, ripe tannins, low acidity and a long, lusty finish, it is another 1989 that's going from strength to strength as its structure softens with age. 92/100 1995: Tasted from an ex-château bottle at BI Wine & Spirits Calon-Segur dinner in London. The 1995 Calon-Segur was the vintage that raised the profile of this estate and heralded the start of the late Mme Gasqueton's era. At 20 years of age, it shows no signs of reaching the end of its plateau. Far from it. It has an endearing bouquet that still seems youthful: brambly red fruit, asphalt and a light marine influence. Allowing the wine to open, there is a subtle winegum scent. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, impressive depth and backbone, the second half having mellowed in recent years, rendering this approachable; hints of secondary truffle and smoke notes emerging with aeration. It has been several years since I last tasted this wine, but it is one that seems to become more and more impressive with age. Robert Parker rightly lauded this Calon-Ségur at the time of release. Twenty years on, it is fulfilling all its promise. Tasted March 2015 94/100 2003: .A compelling effort from Madame Denise Gasqueton, the 2003 Calon-Segur displays a stunning similarity to the 1982 when tasted in March, 1983. The flavors lean more toward the black fruit spectrum as the ripeness and generosity of the estate’s Cabernet Sauvignon was extraordinary in 2003. In 1982 it was the Merlot that proved to be the superior varietal. The blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot has resulted in one of the deepest-colored efforts yet produced by this estate. The black/purple color is accompanied by an opulence and unctuosity that is characteristic of the most successful 2003 northern Medocs. Low acidity, no hints of over-ripeness, and fabulously pure black currant, blackberry, licorice, and underbrush characteristics cascade over the palate with no hard edges. A high tannin level is well-concealed, and the finish lasts for over a minute. Given Calon-Segur’s traditional winemaking and upbringing, this 2003 will no doubt close down (as the 1982 did). Anticipated maturity: 2010-2030. 95-97/100 2010: The 2010 is performing well,. With Cabernet Sauvignon dominating the blend, the wine has a dense plum/purple color along with notes of underbrush, black currants, plum, licorice, smoky charcuterie and some roasted herbs in the background. Full-bodied, moderately tannic and set for an extremely long life, this will not be a wine to please those looking for immediate gratification. Rather, I would suspect this wine will close down even further in bottle and, despite its full-bodied, powerful, massive size, it will need at least a decade of cellaring before it is accessible. This is another 2010 capable of lasting 35-50 years.94+/100 2016: The 2016 Calon Segur is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Cabernet Franc, 20% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot cropped at 42 hectoliters per hectare between 29 September and 15 October (finishing with the Cabernets and the Petit Verdot). Notice that Cabernet Franc, which excelled not just here but around Saint Estèphe in this vintage, given that there was not a drop in the 2015. It has a very elegant bouquet, very pure with small macerated black cherries, blueberry, a hint of licorices and juniper berries, all effortlessly detailed and exuding what I term 'controlled opulence.' The palate is medium-bodied with a sense of symmetry on the entry, the acidity very well judged and the tannins far less rustic than the Calon-Ségurs of old. What I like about this Calon-Ségur is that it could not come from anywhere apart from Saint Estèphe: that structure, that obduracy counterbalanced by the opulence bestowed by the growing season. There is freshness locked in here from start to finish, with a subtle tang of seaweed and black pepper on the long aftertaste. For me this is a serious step up from the 2015, and the structure augurs a Calon-Ségur destined to last as long as those legendary wines from the 1920s and 1940s. Chapeau to winemaker Vincent Millet and estate director Laurent Dufau. This is easily the best Calon-Ségur that I have tasted from barrel. 95-97/100

Wine Cellar Insider über: Sammlerbox: »The Book«

-- Wine Cellar Insider: 1995: 1995 Calon Segur offered cassis, earth, spice and tobacco aromas. Full bodied, powerful and tannic in style. For a wine from a vintage that is slowly earning the sobriquet of a modern day version of 1975, the wine was already approachable. Still young, this robust, masculine style of St. Estephe will improve over the next several years. 2003: This continues aging and developing in a positive direction, the wine offers its sweet, ripe, spicy, earthy blackberry, tobacco, cigar box and cedar qualities with ease. Full bodied, with round tannins and an expressive finish, time in the cellar will allow this to continue adding more softness and complexities. Tasted 2017. 93/1002010: Blending 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot produced a tannic, rich, powerful wine that expresses earth, forest floor, tobacco, blackberry, cassis and spice. Fresh, tannic and balanced, give this 10-15 years to soften, open and develop. 93/100 2016: Heart-stoppingly good in every way. Rich, dense, powerful, concentrated, polished, long and complex, the fruits just keep on coming in the non-stop finish. Seamless from start to finish, there is beautiful purity of exotic spicy fruit that leaves a real impression. This will take 15-20 years to show its best, but if you are young enough, it's going to be worth the way. Clearly, this is the best wine ever produced from Calon Segur 99/100

Calon Segur

Calon Segur ist in vielerlei Hinsicht ein sehr traditionelles Weingut. Seine Geschichte geht auf die Römerzeit zurück, als Saint-Estèphe den Namen „de Calones“ trug. Die Weine waren – mit einem kleinen Tief in den Sechzigern und Siebzigern – fast das ganze 20. Jahrhundert hindurch sehr gut und seit...
