Château Calon Ségur is a distinguished Grand Cru wine from the Saint-Estèphe appellation in the Médoc region of Bordeaux, France. The 2021 vintage, although affected by a challenging growing season, highlights the resilience of the traditional Bordeaux blend known for its structure and potential for ageing. Saint-Estèphe's terroir, defined by gravelly soils and a maritime climate, imparts distinct characteristics to the wine, enhancing its complexity and depth. Calon Ségur's historical importance and reputation stem from its dedication to preserving classic winemaking techniques, ensuring a wine that is both elegant and powerful.
For culinary pairings, this Saint-Estèphe wine aligns beautifully with hearty dishes. Its robust structure pairs excellently with roasted lamb, duck, or beef Wellington. Regional cuisine such as duck confit or entrecôte à la Bordelaise can also complement the wine's nuanced flavours and aromas. The tannic profile of Calon Ségur is well-suited to dishes with rich, savoury sauces that enhance its complexity and depth.
To fully appreciate this wine, serve it at a temperature of around 16-18°C. Decanting for about an hour will help open up the bouquet, allowing you to experience its full aromatic profile. Begin by observing the wine's deep ruby colour, then inhale its bouquet, noting aromas of dark fruit, cedar, and earthy undertones. Finally, taste for the balance of tannins and acidity, the elegance of its fruit profile, and the length of its finish, which all speak to the wine's remarkable quality.
