Tasting note

品飲筆記：杯中呈現深寶石紅帶紫邊，前段以成熟黑果（黑莓、黑醋栗、桑葚）為主，隨之而來的是雪茄盒、煙草、烘烤香料與些許草本焙烤香。口感層次豐富，從清新精緻到飽滿圓潤，單寧仍有結構感但已開始柔化，餘韻長且帶礦物感。酒莊側記：卡龍世家以呈現風土為宗旨，風格優雅細緻、深度與悠長並存，歷年佳釀（如1947、1953、1982）都證明了其陳年實力。釀造與熟成：採手工採收並於田間先行篩選，回廠後以震動機器再做分選，於恆溫不鏽鋼桶發酵並進行18–21天浸皮，使用蛋清澄清，之後在100%法國新橡木桶中熟成20個月。葡萄園與土壤：典型梅多克的風土—厚厚的第四紀礫石覆層、下方為第三紀黏土，礫石頂部常見細緻的湖相黏土，帶來排水與結構的平衡，使酒既有力量也有陳年潛力。喝法建議：開瓶後醒一小時左右更顯風采，適合搭配烤紅肉或陳年硬質起司。

Tasting Note: Deep ruby–purple in the glass, the 2003 Calon-Ségur opens with ripe black fruit—blackberry, black currant and mulberry—layered with cedary cigar-box, tobacco and warm baking spices. The palate is medium–to–full bodied, fresh and precise, with velvety yet substantial tannins and a long, mineral-tinged finish. Producer Notes: Calon-Ségur aims to mirror its terroir with elegance and reserve; the house style emphasises purity of flavour, delicacy of texture and notable depth and length. Winemaking: Hand-harvested fruit receives an initial selection in the vineyard, followed by mechanical sorting and a second hand-sort. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled conical stainless-steel tanks with maceration for 18–21 days; the wine is fined with egg white. Ageing: 20 months in 100% new French oak barrels. Vineyard: The estate sits on a thick Quaternary gravel layer over predominantly Tertiary clay subsoil, with a fine lacustrine clay at the summit—classic Saint-Estèphe terroir that lends structure and aging potential. Drinking Window: 2010–2029. Closure: Cork.
