Critic reviews

Wine Spectator – Delivers gorgeous aromas of blackberry, blueberry and licorice, with hints of tobacco and spice. Full-bodied, offering a lovely texture and refinement. Very long and beautiful, with tangy acidity and lively fruit. A rich, yet very balanced, Calon. This is almost all Cabernet Sauvignon instead of the normal blend with 40 percent Merlot. The château is now using 100 percent new wood. Like the changes.

Vintage Vigilant

We aim to have all wines above $30 be vintage specific. In the case the listed vintage is out of stock and you note you would like that particular vintage, we will inform you via email for approval to go ahead.

About this Wine

The 45 hectares of vines are planted on top of a thick layer of gravelly soil with a clay underlayer. The blend is made up of over 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot and small amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. After manual harvesting and careful checks, the wine is vinified for around 20 days. Maturation lasts 18-20 months depending on the vintage, and entirely in new wood. The team at Calon has understood that there is no point competing with their neighbour Montrose when it comes to powerful wine. Instead of going down this route, they have opted for a more elegant and delicate character. And indeed, the strength of Calon is found in its elegant expression of a unique terroir. The proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon is increased to bring more structure. Whilst a few years ago the Cabernet grapes struggled to reach full maturity, the climate crisis has actually come to be an advantage. Certainly made to be aged, this wine requires time to develop. In its recent vintages, this cuvée has superb depth and expresses an exceptional aromatic palette of earth, dark fruits and spices.
