Château Calon-Ségur 2009 Is a full-bodied Bordeaux red wine produced by the Third Growth estate of Château Calon-Ségur in St-Estèphe`. Calon-Ségur is the most northerly of all the Médoc Grand-Crus Classé and one of the most highly regarded of St-Estèphe`s Cru Classé properties. Its distinctive walled 75ha vineyard contains an unusually high proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon and in some vintages the Grand Vin can see as much as 90% Cabernet in the blend. "The 2009 has the highest percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon (90%) ever included in a Calon-Segur (the rest is Merlot and Petit Verdot). Completely different from its St.-Estephe brethren, it is more backward and structured with a dense purple colour, lots of black cherry, black currant, loamy earth, forest floor and spice notes, excruciatingly high levels of tannin, and a wonderful inner core of sweetness and concentration. It could behave like the 1982, which, at age 30, is just becoming mature. The 2009 is an uncompromising, masculine, massive style of wine that needs 15-20 years of cellaring even in this luscious, flashy, flamboyant vintage. It is super-tight and needs lots of coaxing and aeration." Wine Advocate, 2012

2009年是酒莊有始以來使用最多卡本內蘇維濃（Cabernet Sauvignon）的一年。 和聖愛斯臺夫過去的風格不太相同，這年份的Calon Segur較為內斂，結構也非常強勁（因為較多卡本內），酒色呈現深紫，香氣滿是黑櫻桃、黑醋栗、土壤香氛、森林濕地與些許點綴的辛香料氣味。
