Château Calon Ségur 2019 - 3rd Cru Class

In 2012, the Gasqueton family sold the Calon Ségur and Capbern castles to Suravenir, a subsidiary of the Crédit Mutuel Arkéa group. 

In the vineyard, the idea is to sublimate what can be sublimated.

The restructuring of the vineyard begun in 2006 is continuing with two major objectives: to increase the density of planting and to give more room to Cabernet Sauvignon. Today, it represents 56% of the vineyard's vines, alongside 35% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot, and this replanting goes hand in hand with a program of mass and clonal selection aimed at preserving and diversifying the genetic heritage of the grape varieties. A considerable amount of work that plays in favor of the singularity and complexity of the wines.

Since 2012, the rebirth is everywhere: in the vineyard, in the cellars, in the chartreuse, in its gardens... The restructuring of the vineyard has first honored the star of Calon, the Cabernet Sauvignon, with a replanting calendar that runs until 2032. In 2016, the restored wine storehouses and a new vat room came into service. Two years later, it was the turn of the Carthusian monastery and its gardens to come back to life. At each stage of the incredible construction site, functionality and efficiency took precedence over ostentation.
