Calon Ségur - Saint-Estèphe 2003

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.

This beautiful 2003 exhibits a dense ruby/purple color, a vigorous youthfulness, and plenty of mulberry, black currant and cherry fruit intermixed with notions of cedarwood, baking spices and roasted herbs. Ripe, medium to full-bodied, fresh and precise, this wine is just hitting full maturity where it should remain for another 10-15 years.

This shows so wonderfully now with a dense palate yet a delicate chocolate, mineral and walnut skin. Full and velvety. Wonderful with juicy length and a long finish. Almost Burgundian in texture.

Bottled in July, 2005, the saturated ruby/purple-colored 2003 exhibits a tightly-knit, but promising nose of mulberries, blackberries, cherries, and hints of new oak and truffles. This 60% Cabernet Sauvignon / 40% Merlot blend possesses a gorgeous texture as well as an expansive, exotic softness, and 13% alcohol (according to the proprietor, Madame Denise Gasqueton). Generous and rich, this high class, full-bodied wine will undoubtedly be more approachable than its closest spiritual sibling, the 1982. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2030.

Loads of crushed berries, with mineral, lightly toasted oak and licorice. Full-bodied, with big, velvety tannins and a long, caressing finish. This is the sleeper of the vintage. Best after 2010.

A compelling effort from Madame Denise Gasqueton, the 2003 Calon-Segur displays a stunning similarity to the 1982 when tasted in March, 1983. The flavors lean more toward the black fruit spectrum as the ripeness and generosity of the estate’s Cabernet Sauvignon was extraordinary in 2003. In 1982 it was the Merlot that proved to be the superior varietal. The blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot has resulted in one of the deepest-colored efforts yet produced by this estate. The black/purple color is accompanied by an opulence and unctuosity that is characteristic of the most successful 2003 northern Medocs. Low acidity, no hints of over-ripeness, and fabulously pure black currant, blackberry, licorice, and underbrush characteristics cascade over the palate with no hard edges. A high tannin level is well-concealed, and the finish lasts for over a minute. Given Calon-Segur’s traditional winemaking and upbringing, this 2003 will no doubt close down (as the 1982 did). Anticipated maturity: 2010-2030.
