2018 Château Ségur de Cabanac, Saint-Estèphe

A small property by Bordeaux standards, just 20 acres under vines. They adjoin vineyards belonging to great names of the commune (Calon, Phélan-Ségur, Meyney) and also benefit from the warming influence of the Gironde estuary nearby. Cabernet Sauvignon makes up 60% of the plantings, Merlot the balance. Medium deep in colour, this has aromas which are fresh, fine and ripe. Palate shows rich, full-bodied fruit, well-rounded on the finish, with lovely length (for drinking 2023-2030+).
