Château Calon-Ségur卡儂西古酒堡相傳酒莊於羅馬時期所建立，酒莊當時的名稱原為「Calones」， 直到18世紀時才更名為Saint Estèphe de Calon，而後再為de Ségur家族所擁有，因此成為Château Calon Ségur。
此酒莊的著名之處，第一在於它獨樹一格的「心型」酒標，因而也有人稱它為「愛之酒」；第二在於18世紀的莊主Nicolas-Alexandre, marquis de Ségur伯爵說他自己「heart was with Calon」，即是「身在兩大，心在Calon」，因而聞名於世
18世紀時，Nicolas-Alexandre, marquis de Ségur伯爵入主莊園，de Ségur伯爵可說是當時酒界的指標性人物。當時de Ségur伯爵還同時擁有Château Lafite和Château Latour兩個名莊，儘管後兩個名莊的名氣及規模都大於Château Calon-Ségur，但de Ségur伯爵卻對Château Calon-Ségur情有獨鍾，因此他說他自己「heart was with Calon」，即是「身在兩大，心在Calon」。也正因為此，一個「心型」標籤至今仍印在酒標上，向後人娓娓訴說著當年de Ségur伯爵對Château Calon-Ségur的一片痴心。
de Ségur伯爵過世後，由於繼任者經營不善，使莊園陷入了嚴重的財政危機，不得不出售，到了1824年由Lestapis家族所擁有；在Lestapis家族的管理下，酒莊在1855年評鑑中列名三級酒莊，但儘管Château Calon-Ségur的品質和聲譽與日俱增，但Lestapis家族似乎已經對經營葡萄園漸漸失去了興趣，加上財政上的虧損等種種原因，使得Lestapis家族在19世紀後期，即1894年，將莊園整體出售給Gasqueton家族。
今日莊園主人Mme Gasqueton至今仍住在莊園城堡裡，她已故的丈夫Philippe是medoc產區最傳統的葡萄酒釀酒師之一，當Philippe於1995年去世之時，許多人都預言Mme Gasqueton不可能堅守住丈夫留下的Château Calon-Ségur產業，但事實卻是Mme Gasqueton異常堅強，她全面接手了丈夫留下的工作，並且以極大的熱情和天份帶領著Château Calon-Ségur繼續發展。

The 2018 Calon-Ségur is blended of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot (14.9% alcohol). It is anticipated to age for 20 months in barriques, 100% new. Deep garnet-purple colored, it needs just a little coaxing before it reveals seductive notes of baked cherries, warm cassis, licorice and smoked meats with nuances of hoisin, camphor, Chinese five spice and dried roses with a waft of cardamom. Full-bodied and completely packed with concentrated black fruit and spice layers, it has a firm frame of grainy tannins and a wicked backbone of freshness giving an energetic lift to the very long finish. There's lots of brightness coming from the Cabernet Franc component in here, but it is nonetheless a decadent expression.
“2018 was complicated to vinify because of the potentially high alcohols,” Laurent Dufau, Managing Director of Calon-Ségur and Capbern informed me. “Also, you had to be very gentle with extraction. You had to be soft, so as not to extract too much. The alcohol percentage of the Merlot was concerning—some came in at 16% potential alcohol! And the Cabernet Franc this year was amazing on this terroir.” Merlot was picked from September 19 to 25. The Cabernets came in September 26 to October 5. Petit Verdot came in on October 8th. Yields were pretty good here on average in 2018: 41 hectoliters per hectare. This year marks the final stages/completion of years of vineyard restructuring, new aging cellars and a gravity-fed vat room at Château Calon-Ségur. Most notably, they have been increasing vine density and slowly working on bringing more Cabernet Sauvignon rather than Merlot on line, as was the blend traditionally. No doubt about it, quality at Calon-Ségur has been on an upward trajectory in recent years!
