- In stock, ready to ship
ABOUT THE WINE
Historic records show that Calon Segur was in existence as far back as 1147, when it was owned by Monseigneur de Calon. Eventually the Medoc property came to be owned by Nicolas Alexandre de Segur, hence the name. Marquis de Segur is quoted as saying: “I make my wine at Lafite and Latour, but my heart is in Calon.” That famous saying lives forever on the label of Château Calon Segur, where the drawing of a heart is prominently featured. In July 2012, Chateau Calon Segur was sold to the large French insurance company, Suravenir Insurance. Jean-Pierre Moueix, the owner of Petrus and the massive negociant company Duclot, also took a minority stake in the estate.
