Château Calon Ségur 2009 (12 BT)

Château Calon Ségur 2009

St. Estèphe, 3ème Cru Classé

Good levels, US slip labels below main label, 1 slightly overlaps main label

90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot. For the first time here, 100% new wood. The Cabernet Sauvignon was so ripe this year, while the Merlot had high alcohol, hence the high percentage of the former. In 2018, this is an opulent, plummy, even 'oriental' wine of the utmost delight. It melts in the mouth - archetypal 2009 and a total crowd pleaser. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
