MARQUIS OF CALON SEGUR 1991
Château Calon-Ségur is located in Saint-Estèphe , in the Bordeaux wine region. It is classified Third Grand Cru Classé . The name Calon-Ségur first appeared in the 18th century, when the castle belonged to Nicolas-Alexandre, Marquis de Ségur, who also owned the Latour, Lafite and Margaux castles. As well as changing the name of the estate, he also placed a heart on his wine label, after saying: "I make wine at Lafite and Latour but my heart belongs to Calon". The Calon-Ségur vines are planted on clay-gravelly soil on a single plot of 94 hectares surrounded by high stone walls. The Château belonged to several owners including the Gasqueton family, who finally sold it in 2012 to Suravenir, a subsidiary of the Crédit Mutuel Arkéa group. Jean-Pierre Denis, its president, joined forces with Jean-François Moueix and his son Jean, owners of the Videlot group.
Château Calon Ségur is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot . The wine is aged for 18 to 20 months, entirely in new barrels.
