Chateau Calon-Segur 2005 Size::1 Bottle Some 90% of the Balthazar

Some 90% of the Balthazar Ress vineyards are planted to Riesling with the remainder split between Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir) and Weissburgunder (Pinot Blanc)

A surprisingly refined Riesling whose limey flavours and a texture are reminiscent of classic German Riesling

Displaying aromas of fresh rhubarb and tobacco leaf

The finish is long

Chateau Calon-Segur 2005 Size::1 Bottle Some 90% of the BalthazarThis is a wonderfully constructed wine, with very fine, silky tannins and an intense core of classic brambly St Estphe fruit with a whiff of mulberries. It is pure and fresh with the 60% Cabernet Sauvignon brooding, as if waiting to leap out very much to the fore. This is completely different to their famous 2003, and although Madame will not be drawn on the matter, we certainly think it is considerably superior.
