Calon Ségur - Saint-Estèphe 1990

Calon Ségur, le lien du coeur

Au centre de toutes les attentions et au centre de l'étiquette, le cœur est le symbole de Calon depuis le XVIIIe siècle, grâce au marquis de Ségur et à cette phrase qui a traversé le temps : " Je fais du vin à Lafite et à Latour, mais mon cœur est à Calon". Le Marquis de Ségur, surnommé le "Prince des vignes", était alors l'un des hommes les plus influents de Bordeaux. Il régnait sur les principaux crus du Médoc. Ses vins ont séduit Versailles et dans la foulée toutes les cours d'Europe.

Le cœur est gravé au XIXe siècle sur la façade du chai. La mention qui l'accompagne, " Premier cru de Saint-Estèphe ", souligne que le domaine est le plus ancien de la commune. Sa forme reconnaissable entre mille, silhouette large aux courbes aplanies, signera dès le début du XXe siècle les premières étiquettes.

Il nous rappelle aussi qu'entre les amateurs de vin et Calon, il y a toujours eu quelque chose de spécial, une relation qui dépasse la simple raison.

1990: An amber/orange edge to the color suggests full maturity, and the aromas and flavors confirm it. The medium-bodied 1990 Calon Segur exhibits sweet cedar, currant, herb, plum, and kirsch notes along with a dusty earthiness. It lacks the concentration of the finest vintages from the mid-nineties as well as every top vintage from 2000 onward. No doubt high yields and a lack of a strict selection have resulted in a wine that has consistently been on a fast evolutionary track. There is a sensuality and sexiness to it because of its full maturity. Very pleasant at present, it needs to be drunk up over the next 4-5 years.

Super. Dark ruby-red. Intense aromas of violets, licorice, plums and berries. Full-bodied, with a thick, concentrated fruit structure and soft, velvety tannins.--1990 Bordeaux retrospective. Best after 2005.

The dark ruby-colored 1990, which already reveals some amber, offers a fragrant bouquet of spicy, oaky, cherry, and herb-like fruit. This is an admirably concentrated, surprisingly approachable, extremely well-balanced wine with outstanding depth and purity of fruit to its medium-bodied personality. Surprisingly, it is close to full maturity. Anticipated maturity: now-2010. Last tasted 8/97

The 1990 has put on weight since I last tasted it. Dark ruby-colored, with a fragrant bouquet of spicy, oaky, cherry, and herb-like fruit, this is an admirably concentrated, surprisingly approachable, extremely well-balanced wine with great depth and purity of fruit. Anticipated maturity: 1995-2010.

This wine continues to remind me of the excellent 1976 and 1985 Calon-Segurs. Although it lacks sufficient concentration to be considered profound, the wine is charming and full of wonderful spicy, oaky, cherry and herb-like flavors. Extremely well-balanced, it is a medium-bodied, alluring example of Calon-Segur. Given the impossible-to-predict behavior of this wine in the bottle, I would not be surprised if it firms up and lasts longer than I have projected. Anticipated maturity: 1997-2010.
