The 2023 Calon Ségur is a wine for readers who can be patient. In
many recent years, Calon Ségur has been quite showy, but this is not
one of them. Bold acids and huge tannins dominate at this stage.
Bright red-toned fruit is a signature, but the 2023 is a powerful, young
Calon Ségur that will clearly need time to come together. Bright acids
extend the finish beautifully.
Vinous – Neil Martin – 920-94/100
The 2023 Calon Ségur was picked September 6 to 30 at 45hL/ha. As
usual, it is being aged entirely in new oak for a planned 20 months. It
has a tight, cohesive bouquet of predominantly black fruit intermixed
with wild hedgerow, tobacco and melted tar. The palate is mediumbodied with impressive grip on the entry—quite fresh, with a subtle
marine tincture and a touch of Japanese nori in the background. It
gently fans out on the finish, but it remains controlled and especially
linear for Calon-Ségur, perhaps less swayed by the Merlot (15% of the
blend). Classy.
