| ABV | 13% |
82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Petit Verdot, 16% Merlot. First tasting: fine harmonious nose. Palate mixes ripeness with a certain elegant dustiness, and then juicy velvet red fruit sweetness. Supple, appetising and long. At the château, a creamy close texture, lovely balance, it really works: real wine with sap, fruit, expression and all the body it needs. The tannins are present but not aggressive. Fruit is cherryish, raspberry accented, bright and precise. Vincent Millet says he thinks it will drink well from five years time and also hold well. Rating: 92-93 L&S (Apr 2016)

The 2015 Calon-Ségur has a fresh and very well defined bouquet of raspberry, wild strawberry and crushed stone aromas, very focused and beautifully integrated new oak. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannin, well judged acidity, lightly spiced and quite saline toward the marine-tinged finish that fans out beautifully. There is classiness in this Saint-Estèphe and it should age with grace. Tasted blind at the Southwold 2015 Bordeaux tasting. Rating: 94 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Jul 2019)
Aromas of blackberries, currants, cedar and tobacco. Full-bodied, layered and dense. Great fruit yet tight and structured. A classically proportioned red with so much intensity. A wine for the future. Drinking range: 2022 - Rating: 95 James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com (Feb 2018)
The 2015 Calon Ségur is a very pretty, if somewhat one-dimensional wine with good brightness in its floral-infused red berry fruit. The purity aromas and flavors is striking, but the texture, dimension and complexity of the very best years is elusive. The 2015 is an attractive, mid-weight Calon Ségur to drink while some of the more recent vintages, especially the 2014 and 2016, are left to age in the cellar. The blend is 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot. Drinking range: 2023 - 2040 Rating: 93 Antonio Galloni, www.vinous.com (Feb 2018)
