在早期20-40年代卡隆色古堡所釀之酒堪稱有一級酒堡的水準，50年代後並沒有太好的表現，有人歸罪於裝瓶太晚導致有點氧化，缺乏果香反倒有過多的老木味，直到1982年後又讓人耳目一新，恢復以前的水準；1988, 1989，1990, 1995, 1996的酒質直逼二級酒堡Cos d’Estournel以及Montrose，2003年份更是得到近百分的評價，遠遠超過釵h二級酒莊，卡隆色古堡堅持傳統，以釀製長壽可久藏之酒為驕傲。
WA:Approximately 65% of the crop made it into the 2001 Calon-Segur, which is a standard blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and 10% Cabernet Franc. Half the crop enjoyed malolactic in barrel and half in tank. Although this is a richer effort than the 1999 as well as 1998, it falls short of the profound 2000. The deep ruby/purple-colored 2001 exhibits a sweet nose of mulberries, cherries, dried herbs, earth, and licorice, a sweet attack, ripe tannin, good definition, and a medium-bodied, long finish with impressive purity. If this St.-Estephe fleshes out, it will merit an outstanding score, but it is lighter and less dense than the 2000. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2018.
