Region
The commune of St. Estèphe stands on the gravelly Médoc plain looking out across the Girande just north of Pauillac. The vineyard is predominantly planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, which enjoys the well drained soils and accounts for great richness and a hard tannic structure that allows longevity

Tasting Notes
Le Sainte-Estephe de Calon Ségur is the third wine of the renowned Château Calon Ségur, offering an approachable expression of this distinguished estate. Produced from younger 20 year old vines and carefully selected fruit, it combines the estate’s classic Cabernet-led character with greater freshness and accessibility. Expect vibrant aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry and plum, alongside subtle spice and floral notes. The palate is supple and finely structured, with polished tannins, bright acidity and a long, savoury finish.
Food
Pair with fine cuts of beef or pork or braised red meats.
