The History
Calon Ségur figures in the 1855 classification as a Third Classified Growth. This ranking of the wines of Gironde, both red and white, was established in anticipation of the 1855 Universal Exhibition, during the reign of Napoléon III. The list was drawn up by the Bordeaux wine brokers at the request of the Gironde Chamber of Commerce.
The ranking was based on the growths’ reputation and the prices at which the wines were purchased at that time.
This unchanging classification only ranks the growths of Bordeaux’s Left Bank, the Graves and Sauternes.
