2001 CHÂTEAU CALON SÉGUR 3ème Cru Classé Saint Estèphe

2001 CHÂTEAU CALON SÉGUR 3ème Cru Classé Saint Estèphe

Grapes: Cabernet Sauvignon  Cabernet Franc  Merlot  Origin: France, Bordeaux
Lea & Sandeman review
35% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, 50% Cabernet Sauvignon. Super deep rich ruby colour. The attack is in perfect balance, fruit ripe but not overripe, pure and full. And fruit is what one tastes, despite 50% new wood, and 25% malo-lactic in barrel. Tannins are there, and are firm, but not out of proportion to the fruit and volume of the wine. Very good. I like this lots. The Merlots were picked before the rain (in just four days, starting 25th September) and nearly all this wound up in the Grand Vin.

Other reviews and comments
I suspect this 2001 will shut down (as most young Calon-Segurs do), although it appears more forward and evolved than the huge, backward, but totally dormant 2000. The plum/ruby-colored 2001 reveals aromas of damp earth, cranberries, cherries, herbs, and forest floor. While lighter than its older sibling, it is medium-bodied, elegant, and should emerge from its post-bottling sleep in 4-5 years, and drink well for 14-15. Think of it as a lighter-weight 1988 (one of the stars of the vintage). 2008-2019   90/100
