Tasting Notes:

Château Calon-Ségur is an estate located in the commune of Saint-Estèphe on the left bank of the Gironde River in Bordeaux, which was rated as a third growth in the 1855 Classification of the Medoc and Graves. The château is unique in the Medoc as the vineyards are in one single plot surrounded by tall stone walls. The rich, supple textures that are often the signature of the vintage are peeking through. The fruits are ripe, the tannins are polished and the Nose is already adding a bit of secondary nuance.

Pairing:

Beef, Grilled dishes, Poultry

"In 2018, the Léoville-Barton, a top Bordeaux estate, produced a top-notch wine at a reasonable price. The 2018 Léoville-Barton is a masterpiece of Saint Julien style, with a bouquet of opulent blackcurrant, blackberry, and plum fruits, cedar, cocoa, violet, herb, and toasty oak tones. The flavors are luscious and attractive, with exotic nuances of herb, cedar, cigar-box, cocoa, and baking spice." - Wine Review Online
