Saint Estephe de Calon Segur

Calon Segur

There are plenty of references to history in the village of Calon, which owes its name to a small boat used in the Middle Ages to transport wood from one bank to another. In the 18th century, Chateau Calon Segur belonged to Nicolas Alexandre de Segur, nicknamed the Prince of the Vines. The heart that adorns Calon's label recalls the spirituality of this iconic landlord. In 1855, the Chateau acquired the rank of Third Classified Growth. From 1894 to 2012, the property passed from generation to generation in the Gasqueton family. The Chateau was acquired by Suravenir Insurance Group, a branch of the Credit Mutuel Arkea, at the end of 2012. Laurent Dufau was untrusted to the management of the estate, in collaboration with the technical director Vincent Millet.
