This is the second wine of Chateau Calon-Ségur, the third-growth Saint-Estèphe estate. A Cabernet Sauvignon dominant blend with smaller proportions of Cabernet Franc and Merlot, it is a more approachable, earlier-drinking style and serves as a great introduction to the Grand Vin. Savoury and mid-weight, it is produced from hand- picked grapes off the estate’s vineyards. Recent vintages have been matured in 50% new French oak barriques for 18 months.

Ideally situated at the foot of the famous Roche de Solutré, in the hamlet of Pouilly, the Trouillet estate is currently run by William (4th generation). The chardonnay fruit was hand-picked, gently pressed, then fermented in Burgundian oak to preserve freshness and finesse. The wine displays a fresh, open nose, the palate shows a good attack of vibrant flavour, with generosity and complexity important aspects of the signature. Sourced from 50 year old vines, this wine exhibits all of the finesse expected of the grand white wines of Burgundy.
