Château Calon-Ségur 2000

Château Calon-Ségur is one of those charming Bordeaux wines from Saint-Estèphe. It's got that heart on the label, you know, and it's mainly made from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The story goes that the Marquis de Ségur said something about his heart being with Calon back in the 18th century. So, today, we're diving into this 2000 vintage.

In the 7th volume of 'Drops of God,' this wine comes up when an old lady at Le Pain talks about it at Monopole. It's a perfect pick for Valentine's Day because of its rich chocolate aroma. With such a romantic story, it's a great choice to share on a special occasion.

Pouring the 2000 Calon-Ségur into a glass, you notice how it's transitioning from ruby to garnet, showing its age. There's a nice viscosity that hints at its time in the bottle. On the nose, you'll find a complex mix of blackcurrant and blackberry, with a touch of chocolate and cedar—really inviting. Tasting it, the ripe fruit flavors are beautifully balanced by dense tannins. The acidity is lively, giving it a wonderful overall balance.

The finish is long, leaving a slightly spicy note at the end. This glass offers a deep experience, thanks to its 26 years of aging. To get the best out of it, let it breathe a bit and enjoy it in a special glass. You'll love the depth and complexity it brings.
