Details

The 2022 Château Calon-Ségur is a highly-praised, powerful, and complex Saint-Estèphe wine, receiving scores in the mid-to-high 90s from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (96-98), James Suckling (97), and Wine Enthusiast(96). Critics highlight its depth, intense minerality, super-fine tannins, and a layered mouthfeel with notes of dark fruit, cassis, smoke, and graphite. While already showing appeal, it is a long-lived wine that will benefit from a decade or more of aging to reach its full potential.

Key Characteristics

Blend:

Typically consists of about 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, and smaller amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.
Aromas:

Aromatic profile includes dark fruits (cassis, blackberry), smoky tobacco, licorice, mint, and graphite.
Flavor Profile:

Features powerful cassis, dark plum, and black cherry flavors seamlessly blended with licorice, ash, and earthy notes.
Structure:

Possesses powerful, super-fine-grained tannins and a layered mouthfeel, providing remarkable balance and structure for aging.
Vintage Context:

The 2022 vintage is noted for its intensity, depth, and concentration, capturing the essence of the warm, dry conditions of the year.

Critical Acclaim

96-98 Points, William Kelley (Robert Parker's Wine Advocate): Praised the wine's terrific depth, supple tannins, and long saline finish.
97 Points, James Suckling: Described it as "stunning" with superb depth, minerality, and a powerful yet fine and complex character.
96 Points, Wine Enthusiast: Noted the wine's firm structure, concentrated dark tannins, and impressive density, recommending it as a Cellar Selection.

Aging Potential

While already appealing, the wine is built for the long haul.
It is expected to evolve and soften over the next decade, or even two, to reach its full potential, as is characteristic of past great vintages from the estate.
