★說到適合情人節飲用的葡萄酒，總是讓人馬上連想到酒標上大大一顆心的Château Calon Ségur！
無論情人節要向情人傳達心意，或是珍藏一款珍釀作為兩個人的紀念，無疑的Calon Ségur是最佳的選擇！
Calon Ségur是波爾多St.-Estèphe產區的三級頂級酒莊(3ème Cru Classé)，它是早在12世紀就已經在生產葡萄酒的古老莊園；酒莊名字裡的Calon是指中世紀的時候用來運送木材渡過Gironde河上的小帆船，而Ségur則是源於十八世紀時被稱為「葡萄酒王子」而名滿天下的Ségur侯爵(Nicolas-Alexandre, marquis de Ségur; 1695–1755)。他當時除了本酒莊之外，還同時擁有Château Latour、Château Lafite、Château Mouton等名園！儘管他坐擁這麼多的名園，但是他卻說："I make wine at Lafite and Latour, but my heart is at Calon."，因而在酒標上以這個心形標誌來紀念這段佳話，Calon Ségur在台灣也就常被暱稱為「愛心酒」或「情人酒」。
本酒莊的莊園緊鄰St.-Estèphe村子北側，從1855年到現在一直維持同樣55公頃，完全被石牆包圍保護。葡萄種植的面積有50公頃，園內土壤表層覆蓋著Médoc招牌的礫石層，礫石層下面是黏土，這兩種截然不同的土壤造就了Calon Ségur酒中的力道和優雅。種植的葡萄品種是60% Cabernet Sauvignon、30% Merlot、7% Cabernet Franc和 2% Petit Verdot。Calon Ségur的酒的風格是強勁紮實，常常需要陳年10年以上才能達到適飲期。
在前莊主Denise Gasqueton夫人的管理下，本酒莊的水準從1990年代中期開始有了卓越而穩定的表現，尤其進入21世紀之後，有多個年份的表現都相當精彩；夫人去世之後，在2012年由Suravenir Assurances保險公司入主本酒莊，大手筆花費超過2000萬歐元、歷時5年將酒莊設備全面更新：使用重力流的釀酒廠房、搭配葡萄園區塊的不同尺寸的不銹鋼發酵槽、全新品酒室、重種葡萄園等，讓酒質有大幅顯著的提升，相當令人期待其今後的表現。
WA:2026 - 2060
The 2016 Calon Segur is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Cabernet Franc, 20% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot cropped at 42 hectoliters per hectare between 29 September and 15 October (finishing with the Cabernets and the Petit Verdot). Notice that Cabernet Franc, which excelled not just here but around Saint Estèphe in this vintage, given that there was not a drop in the 2015. It has a very elegant bouquet, very pure with small macerated black cherries, blueberry, a hint of licorices and juniper berries, all effortlessly detailed and exuding what I term "controlled opulence." The palate is medium-bodied with a sense of symmetry on the entry, the acidity very well judged and the tannins far less rustic than the Calon-Ségurs of old. What I like about this Calon-Ségur is that it could not come from anywhere apart from Saint Estèphe: that structure, that obduracy counterbalanced by the opulence bestowed by the growing season. There is freshness locked in here from start to finish, with a subtle tang of seaweed and black pepper on the long aftertaste. For me this is a serious step up from the 2015, and the structure augurs a Calon-Ségur destined to last as long as those legendary wines from the 1920s and 1940s. Chapeau to winemaker Vincent Millet and estate director Laurent Dufau. This is easily the best Calon-Ségur that I have tasted from barrel.
