Chateau Calon Sègur, Saint-Estèphe Grand Cru Classé 3ème, Bordeaux, France 2005 natural but even in the LoireThe Grand Vin of Calon Sgur mirrors its terroir. It is rare, authentic and stirs the soul. In the most natural way, it reveals both great delicacy and outstanding intensity. All the magic of Calon is in this balance. The wine is aged in new oak barrels for 20 months, the tannins of the oak integrating harmoniously over time with the tannins of the grapes. The style is brought by a Cabernet Sauvignon which expresses its finesse without arrogance.
