La Chapelle Calon 2010, St. Estephe (1x75cl)

Looking for a Bordeaux that truly delivers without breaking the bank? Meet La Chapelle Calon 2010! This isn't just any bottle; it's the fantastic second wine from the legendary Château Calon Ségur in St-Estèphe.

The 2010 vintage was absolutely stellar, meaning this wine is drinking beautifully right now. Think classic Left Bank power, but with a lovely approachability thanks to its age. It’s got that serious Bordeaux vibe, but it’s super friendly for your palate.

Perfect for a special Friday night dinner, impressing the in-laws, or even as a thoughtful gift for your boss (they'll think you spent a fortune!). It’s a no-brainer for anyone who loves a good, mature Bordeaux without the fuss.

Tasting notes

Alright, so you pop this open and immediately you get those lovely dark fruit smells – blackcurrant, a bit of plum, maybe even a hint of cedar or cigar box from its age. It’s not shy!

Take a sip, and wow, it’s got some serious oomph! Smooth tannins, not aggressive at all, which is great for a St-Estèphe. You’ll taste more of that dark fruit, maybe some earthy notes, and a touch of spice. It’s got a nice long finish that just keeps going.

This is screaming for a juicy steak, a hearty roast, or even some char siu. Honestly, it’s just a super satisfying glass of red that makes you want another. Cheers!
