An integral member of the Calon Ségur family, the third wine exhibits a freshness and fruitiness geared for immediate enjoyment. It is mainly sourced from the estate’s young vines with a balanced blend made up of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. 
Formerly known as La Chapelle de Calon, then Le Saint-Estèphe de Calon Ségur, it took a new name with Le C de Calon Ségur since the vintage 2019.
C like the third letter of the alphabet, for the third label of the estate.
C like “Coeur", the heart, symbol of the love carried by the Marquis de Ségur to the domaine, and singular distinctive sign of our bottles.
C like Calon.
