Château Calon-Ségur 1996
Calon-Ségur's present day motto emanates from the latter half of the century, when the Marquis Nicolas de Ségur, the 'Prince of Vines', who already owned Lafite and Latour, took control of Calon (as it was) and declared: "I make wine at Lafite and Latour, but my heart belongs to Calon." To this day, a heart remains on the label.
Calon-Ségur lies just to the north of St-Estephe and comprises 183 acres of vineyards, as we ll as a beautiful striking white château, surrounded by a stone wall (clos), and currently owned by Madame Gasqueton. The 1995 and 1996 vintages were much acclaimed as a change in style after Madame Gasqueton took over the estate in succession to her late husband Philippe Capbern Gasqueton.
