Calon Ségur

Wedding gift lists traditionally include wine glasses or cutlery, but in 1718, Nicolas-Alexandre de Ségur, the owner of Château Lafite and Château Latour and president of the Bordeaux parliament, received a rather more impressive present: Château Calon.

About the producer

De Ségur is reported to have fallen for Calon's charms and liked to say his heart was in Calon, with this sentiment making it to the estate's symbol which adorns its label to this day. The estate has made many fine wines in celebrated vintages but since its acquisition by French insurance firm Suravenir in 2012, its makers are now consistently harnessing the truly great potential of this site with critics falling hard for recent vintages.
