2001 CALON SEGUR / 凱隆世家
Something about Chateau Calon Segur
Chateau Calon Segur name is derived from the old French word Calon which was boat used in the Middle Ages to transport timber from one side to the other of the Garonne, and from the Marquis de Segur who owned the Chateau in the early 18th century. The Third Classified Growth in the appellation of Saint-Estèphe remained in Capbern-Gasqueton family throughout the 19th century until 2012. Chateau Calon-Segur continues to produce wines with an inimitable style marked by the typicity of the appellation.

I suspect this 2001 will shut down (as most young Calon-Segurs do), although it appears more forward and evolved than the huge, backward, but totally dormant 2000. The plum/ruby-colored 2001 reveals aromas of damp earth, cranberries, cherries, herbs, and forest floor. While lighter than its older sibling, it is medium-bodied, elegant, and should emerge from its post-bottling sleep in 4-5 years, and drink well for 14-15. Think of it as a lighter-weight 1988 (one of the stars of the vintage)
