Château Calon Ségur 2015

Château Calon-Ségur 2015, 2° Cru Classé di Saint-Estèphe 

Sul grande territorio del Saint-Estèphe lo Château Calon Ségur 2015 dimostra tutta la propria potenza. Questo vino dello Château Calon Ségur è un delicato assemblaggio di Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet franc e Petit Verdot. 

I Merlot non troppo alcolici donano al vino un tocco gradevole e fruttato. I Cabernet Sauvignon regalano invece molta eleganza e una tensione cristallina notevole. I prossimi mesi di affinamento di quest'annata 2015, già caratterizzata da un equilibrio eccezionale e da tannini setosi, gli dovrebbero permettere di competere con i più grandi vini della denominazione Saint-Estèphe.

Wine Advocate-Parker :
The 2015 Calon Segur is a blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot (no Cabernet Franc in the Grand Vin this year). It was picked from 8 September until 5 October at a yield of 47 hl/ha and is matured in 100% new oak for the next 20 months. The Cabernet Sauvignon dominates the aromatics with blackberry, cedar and graphite aromas: quite linear, nicely focused and reserved compared to the 2014 last year. The palate is understated on the entry, the tannin very fine and the acidity very well judged. Like the nose, the Cabernet drives this wine forward: structured and a little "brittle" in the mouth, perhaps the most Pauillac-like Calon-Segur that I have encountered over many years of tasting. Afford this several years in bottle.
