Château Calon Ségur

At the northern edge of Saint-Estèphe, where the Gironde Estuary meets Bordeaux's oldest terroir, Château Calon Ségur commands respect as one of the Médoc's most historic estates. This Third Growth property, distinguished by its iconic heart-shaped label, transforms 55 hectares of walled vineyard into some of Saint-Estèphe's most powerful and age-worthy wines.

Founded in 1147, Château Calon Ségur carries nearly nine centuries of winemaking heritage through its ancient stones.

The estate reached legendary status under the Ségur family, who simultaneously controlled Lafite, Latour, and Mouton, with the Marquis de Ségur famously declaring his heart belonged to Calon Ségur.

Today, winemaker Vincent Millet honors this extraordinary legacy while implementing modern precision viticulture.

His meticulous approach respects the estate's cool, late-ripening terroir, where complex clay soils—blue, yellow, and black—create wines of remarkable depth and longevity. Vincent Millet crafts the flagship Château Calon Ségur from predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, creating investment-grade wines that demand decades of cellaring.

The grand vin showcases Saint-Estèphe's signature power and structure, while the second wine, Le Marquis de Calon Ségur, offers earlier accessibility without compromising the estate's distinctive character. These ultra-premium Bordeaux consistently earn critical acclaim for their mineral precision and extraordinary aging potential.

The estate's unique enclos—one of the few remaining walled vineyards in Bordeaux—creates an almost monastic atmosphere for wine appreciation. Château Calon Ségur offers exclusive tastings by appointment only, allowing visitors to experience both the historic chai and the modern winemaking facilities. The intimate setting provides unparalleled access to Vincent Millet's philosophy and the estate's remarkable wine library.

Guests can explore the property's ancient cellars while tasting vertical flights that demonstrate the wines' legendary aging capacity. Discover why the heart symbol on every bottle represents more than romance—it embodies nine centuries of Bordeaux excellence.
