6 bottles Château Calon 2016 Château Calon – Saint-Georges-Saint-Émilion 2016 - perfect drinking of the topyear 2016 ! Bordeaux’s best-kept secret — and one of the Right Bank’s most compelling addresses. Located on the south-facing slopes of the limestone plateau opposite Saint-Émilion, Château Calon belongs to an estate established in the 18th century by the Boidron family. It consists of a 7-hectare hillside vineyard that benefits from exceptional sunlight exposure and a clay-limestone terroir.  This privileged position brings maximum sunshine, together with a panoramic view over the vineyards of Saint-Émilion.  The blend is anchored by 80% Merlot, complemented by 10% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon — a composition that produces a wine that is deeply coloured, full-bodied, fruity, spicy, and highly aromatic.  In the glass, it offers deep, intense ruby colour with aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry and dark cherry, woven together with notes of vanilla, cedar and spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied, with a dense structure and velvety tannins that give it a rich and complex texture, finishing long and persistent.  The winemaking is impeccably traditional. Maceration is long and meticulously modulated according to daily tastings, allowing for precise extraction of aromas and tannins. The indigenous yeast species of this terroir are fully respected and never supplemented with external yeasts — a natural richness and a key element of the wine’s typicity.  The harvest is always hand-picked, sorted, and interrupted if it rains.  The wine ages carefully in enamelled vats and barrels for two and a half years before bottling, and its qualities continue to develop for more than 25 years.  Saint-Georges-Saint-Émilion is one of the four prestigious satellite appellations bordering Saint-Émilion itself. This is a wine that delivers the soul of the Right Bank — plush, mineral, age-worthy. A smart buy for the cellar, and a guaranteed pleasure at the table.
