Tasted at Bordeaux Index's tasting and at the château, the 2006 Calon Segur was current winemaker Vincent Millet's first vintage. In many ways, you can see it as one of the last of the "old style" Calon Segur wines with a higher percentage of Merlot than nowadays (the 2006 consists of 33% Merlot), while I aver that the tannins are not as fine as they are nowadays. The Merlot component is vividly expressed on the nose with ravishing ripe red cherries, kirsch and strawberry, just slightly smudged by the alcohol. The palate is medium-bodied with chewy tannin, quite sexy in style but it does not have the class of more recent vintages and it seems to have remained tough up on the finish. It will loosen up with time, so afford this another 6-8 years in bottle. Tasted January 2016.

Focused and fresh, with violet and blackberry aromas and vanilla undertones. Full-bodied, with very pretty berry fruit character, fine tannins and a long, caressing finish. Refined. Best after 2014.

A blend of 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, and 1% Petit Verdot, the 2006 Calon Segur is an elegant, classic effort that represents about 60% of their total production. Deep ruby, with forest floor, cassis, black cherry, and soil undertones in both the aromas and flavors, this is a medium to full-bodied wine. A success for the vintage, it exhibits fine density, moderately high but sweet tannins, and alluring texture, and fine purity. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2035.

Fine floral, fragrant nose, all elegance and lift, almost feminine style, great purity, a lovely wine with ripe tannins and perfect balance.

Floral, fruits rouges, bouche élégante,très fine, petits tanins croquants mais enveloppés, de la chair et beaucoup de fruit. Quelqu'un disait - et c'était bien avantl'arrivée de Vincent Millet - que Caln était le plus margaux des saint-estèphe. Il y a du vrai.

Kräftiges Rubingranat, zarter violetter Rand. In der Nase vielschichtige Gewürzanklänge, feine dunkle Beerenfrucht, nach Brombeeren und Cassis, sehr einladend. Am Gaumen stoffige Beerenfrucht, rotbeerige Nuancen, finessenreiche Struktur, mit 13 % Alkohol auch nicht zu mächtig, seidige Tannine, zarte Zitrusnote, die Rasse hinzufügt, ein ungemein delikater und eleganter Wein, dezente Lebkuchengewürze im Nachhall, ein Klassiker.

2016-2030. Mitteldunkles Granat-Rubin. Würziges, nach getrockneten Baumnüssen und Pflaumen duftendes Bouquet, helle Kaffeenote dahinter, florale Frische, aber reifer Cabernet. Im Gaumen rech fleischig, mit Tannin und Säure sich verbindendes Extrakt, in der Mitte eine feine Rasse spürbar, den mittelgewichtigen Körper stützend.

The harvest at this estate was relatively late for the vintage (September 26-October 15), and approximately two-thirds of the production made it into the final blend of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, and 3% Petit Verdot. The 2006 is highly successful, as Madame Gasqueton said, no doubt because of the de-leafing and crop-thinning done throughout the summer. A deep dark ruby/purple hue is accompanied by a sweet nose of black cherries, damp earth, and a hint of herbs. Medium-bodied with surprisingly soft tannin, no austerity, decent acidity, and a fruit-forward, fleshy personality, it should be accessible at an earlier age than the blockbuster 2005.

Très beau vin sans sophistication particulière d’élevage, exprimant avec un grand naturel la beauté des fruits du millésime et la noblesse du terroir. Équilibre alcool/tannin quasi idéal, sans le moindre excès d’extraction. Nous avouons un faible pour la franchise et la modestie de ce type de grand vin !

Tasted at a negotiant. Lucid garnet/ruby colour. The nose is very tight at first, but develops a lovely pure mineral aroma with a touch of earth, hedgerow and black fruits. Full bodied, fabulous balance and focus, well-defined tannins, complex with notes of blackberry, fresh tobacco, a touch of sous bois. Firm, tannic finish but maintaining freshness from start to finish. A fabulously good Calon Ségur courtesy of Mme. Gasqueton. Chapeau! Tasted April 2007.

Remarkably deep crimson. Savoury, racy nose with good depth and confidence. Not heavy or rustic – really quite transparent and with almost Lafite-like lift and race. Well done with no greenness and just a little tightening on the finish. Finer than the more solid Montrose. Positively succulent! You might reproach it for being just a little lightweight…

A lovely wine with a solid core of fruit, silky tannins and chocolate, berry and light spice character. Long and balanced. Reminds me of the 1995.
