82 Cabernet Sauvignon, 9 Merlot, 8 Cabernet Franc, 1 Petit Verdot: 100% new oak for 20 months: 13.1% alc: 45 hl/ha: 3.60 pH Gérant Vincent Millet has made a siren song to Saint-Estèphe Cabernet Sauvignon in 2024, and it is a sleek, inky-black, pristine model with a sonorous nose and a cool, minutes-long finish. At no stage does this wine tip over into excess, preferring to stick to a terroir-soaked, refined and finely balanced template, which has seemingly absorbed all the oak perfectly while maintaining a wonderful sense of tension and poise throughout. Calon is always unique, and in 2024, it distances itself from its neighbours with its hypnotic flavour and ravishing silhouette. Rating: 19+ Matthew Jukes www.matthewjukes.com (May 2025)

Beautiful red ruby expression. A slimmer more finessed expression of Calon than in recent years, that gives it less estate signature than some, but this has beautiful cassis bud, rose petals, peony, iris, cocoa bean and graphite. Subtle but with real charm. 3.60 pH. 45 hl/ha. 100% new oak. Vincent Millet director, Harvest 23 September to 9 October. Drinking range: 2030 - 2044 Rating: 92 Jane Anson, www.janeanson.com (May 2025)
A fruity wine that’s approachable but still serious and complex, with cocoa, currants, paprika and berries. Medium- to full-bodied. The tannins are taut, chalky, caressing and superbly knit with the fruit. Really juicy and long, and there aren't any hard edges. 82% cabernet sauvignon, 9% merlot, 8% cabernet franc and 1% petit verdot. Rating: 96-97 James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com (May 2025)
The 2024 Calon Ségur was picked from September 23 until October 9 at 45 hl/ha with no breaks between those dates. It then matured in 100% new oak, as usual, for 20 months. This has a well-defined bouquet, with more prominent wood than previous recent vintages, which consequently obscures the property's DNA. The palate is medium-bodied with sapid black fruit tinged with black olive. It's quite lively, with a liberal sprinkling of white pepper and thyme. I admire the freshness of this Saint-Estèphe and there is decent length on the finish. This is not a top-ranking Calon-Ségur, but it should still provide up to 20 years of drinking pleasure. Drinking range: 2029 - 2048 Rating: 91-93 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (May 2025)
