Here is a 3rd Grand Cru Classé of the Médoc and more precisely of Saint-Estèphe, Château Calon-Ségur, in the 1979 vintage, a year disturbed by the cold and lack of sunshine in Bordeaux and where the Merlot still fared better than the Cabernets. Château Calon-Ségur is one of those Grands Crus of the Médoc with a high proportion of Merlot and which have acquired enough structure to last the years.

The origins of the Château Calon Ségur vineyard date back more than 2000 years. It now covers 55 hectares. Find all the wines of Château Calon-Ségur currently on sale and in particular several old vintages of this grand cru classé.
