Product Information:

The 2010 Calon Segur is medium bodied, mineral driven and expertly balanced I was shocked how balanced and refined a Saint Estephe can be in this vintage. This wine is a treat. Christian Navarro

Parker Review:
A higher alcohol content (13.8% versus 13.4% in 2009), but lower pH (3.7 versus 3.9 in 2009) has resulted in a concentrated, textured wine that requires a decade of cellaring. It will keep for 35-40 years thereafter. The 2010 harvest at Calon Segur occurred between September 25 and October 14, and the final blend was 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot. A dense ruby/purple color is followed by notes of plums, kirsch, licorice, incense and herbs. Full-bodied, moderately tannic, pure, fresh and precise, this beauty will require lots of patience from prospective purchasers. 92-94 points. - Robert M. Parker Jr., The Wine Advocate
