Verkostungsnotiz vom 11.03.2021
Easily the greatest example from this château that I've tasted, the 2018 Château Calon Ségur checks in as 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, and the balance Petit Verdot aged 20 months in new French oak. This dense purple-hued beauty boasts a stunning nose of blackcurrants, crème de cassis, tobacco, baking spices, chocolate, and cedarwood. With full-bodied richness, a layered, multi-dimensional texture, gorgeous tannins, and one seriously long finish, it hits that palate with 15% alcohol, yet you wouldn't know it by tasting it, and the wine is perfectly balanced, has incredible purity of fruit, and stays fresh and lively, with a clean finish. This magical Saint-Estèphe can be drunk any time over the coming 20+ years.

Aromas of redcurrants and plums with blueberries and black licorice, following through to a full body that’s so refined and polished, the tannins integrated wonderfully into the fruit. Fresh, linear and persistent. Real clarity and purity to this. Try after 2025.

James Mothels bewertet den Chateau Calon Segur 2018 Saint Estephe wie folgt: Delivers a laser beam of cassis. bitter plum and cherry reduction notes. with an extremely fine-grained structure carrying this through a long finish. Accents of iron and violet are piercing in their purity and definition. A very complete and precise wine. verkostet 03-19 von James Mothels Winespectator und vergibt ihm 96-99 Punkte.

Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Calon Segur 2018 Saint Estephe wie folgt: A stratospheric. regal wine. Calon Segur embodies all the best qualities of the vintage. Rich to the point of being exotically ripe. 2018 reminds me of the 2014 in its composition. but with more of everything. On the palate. the 2018 is towering and statuesque. with soaring structure and tremendous overall intensity. Striking aromatic top notes and bright saline underpinnings give the 2018 its energy. tension and nuance. As in 2014. the entirety of the château's Cabernet Franc went into the Grand Vin. Inky. powerful and explosive. Calon Segur is a headspinning wine. Don't miss it! und vergibt ihm 96-99 Punkte.
CB Weinhandel bewertet den Chateau Calon Segur 2018 Saint Estephe wie folgt: Der Kern ist schwarz und die Farbe ist fantastisch strahlend. Die Nase ist so tief. Und komplex. es fällt einerseits schwer etwas zu beschreiben. auf der anderen Seite ist so viel gleichzeitig da. Im Mund ist der Wein so einnehmend. kompakt. und dennoch mit einer tollen schwebenden Eleganz. Das Finale ist super lang und von diesen reifen polierten Tanninen getragen. Fantastisch. bereits jetzt so gut zu trinken. und vergibt ihm 97-100 Punkte.
