Chateau Calon Segur 2016 Saint Estephe

Antonio Galloni Januar 2019: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.
James Suckling Januar 2019:Superb aromas of crushed berries. violets and sandalwood with hints of cedar and roses. Full body. very fine tannins and savory. delicious fruit. Vibrant acidity combines beautifully with the fruit and structure. Harmonious and attractive. Fine-toned. Try after 202
Vinous / Neal Martin Januar 2019:The 2016 Calon Ségur was matured entirely in new oak for 20 months and bottled at the end of July 2018. This was one of the most impressive wines from the estate when I tasted it from barrel. Now in bottle. it has a gorgeous bouquet of beautifully defined blackberry. bilberry. dark chocolate and graphite aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin. perhaps suppler than Cos d’Estournel and more velvety in terms of texture. A dash of cracked black pepper and allspice appears toward the finish. which fans out gloriously. A brilliant wine from François Millet and his team.

Neal Martin bewertet den Chateau Calon Segur 2016 im April 2017:
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.

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?

This sports a dark fruit core. a mouthwatering iron edge and a long. tobacco-accented finish. The broad and racy feel gives this a distinctive profile. This should put on some weight. —J.M.
