2019 Le C Calon Segur 75CL

"Perhaps because it is one of the oldest estates in the Medoc, or perhaps because its most emblematic owner, the Marquis de Segur, built an absolute legend around Calon. Historians date the origins of Calon back to the Gallo-Roman era. Its name comes from “calones”, which referred to small crafts navigating on the Gironde’s estuary. While wine production can be traced back to the 12th century, it was in the 18th century, with the Marquis Nicolas-Alexandre de Segur, also owner of Latour, Lafite and Mouton, that the finest chapter of the property’s history was written.

The third wine formerly known as La Chapelle de Calon, then Le Saint-Estèphe de Calon Ségur, it took a new name with Le C de Calon Ségur since the vintage 2019. C like “Coeur", the heart, symbol of the love carried by the Marquis de Ségur to the domaine, and singular distinctive sign of our bottles."
