Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 94
"The 2015 Calon-Ségur has a fresh and very well defined bouquet of raspberry, wild strawberry and crushed stone aromas, very focused and beautifully integrated new oak. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannin, well judged acidity, lightly spiced and quite saline toward the marine-tinged finish that fans out beautifully. There is classiness in this Saint-Estèphe and it should age with grace."

Robert Parker

RP 93
"Composed of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot, the 2015 Calon-Segur was aged in 100% new French oak barrels for 20 months. It has a deep garnet-purple color and nose of warm blackberries, cassis, black cherries and licorice with touches of roses and dark chocolate. The medium-bodied palate is firm and chewy with good concentration and a spicy finish." -Lisa Perrotti-Brown

Decanter

D 95
"As Vincent Millet points out, in the context of St-Estèphe, '2015 is the opposite of 2014, marked by a very wet growing season' that included 180mm of rain from August to September. Although the first nose expresses caramel, spice and slightly woody notes, a quick airing of the wine reveals its elements of black fruit, liquorice, and graphite. More expressive is the lovely satin-like mouthfeel possessing real power, shaped by finely etched tannins and harmonious yet energetic acidity. Without a doubt, this is a superb wine that will require cellaring before unfurling all it has to offer in the coming years."

Wine Spectator

WS 93
"This has a nearly plush edge, surprising for the vintage, with warmed plum, blackberry and black cherry compote flavors liberally inlaid with smoldering tobacco, humus and roasted juniper notes. Keeps a fleshy edge through the finish, with a streak of warm paving stone lending an austere hint."

Wine Enthusiast

WE 96
"This dense, rich wine is firm with solid tannins. Its texture and structure give it an opulent character that brings out tannins as much as the ripe black fruits. Powerful and concentrated it needs time to get its potential elegance in order. Then it will be a major wine.." -Roger Voss
