Some say Château Calon Ségur was named after Calones were small boats or skiffs used to transport goods across the Gironde estuary. More romantic people would prefer the legendary quote “I make my wine at Lafite and Latour, but my heart is in Calon,” by Marquis de Ségur. The word “Calon” means heart in both old Breton, Northwestern French dialect, and Welsh. It is also said that the loving man de Ségur knew this when he imprinted his heart on the label.
Love is like wine. First growths are prestigious, fine and delicate but sometimes the person who caught your eyes is just a third growth, like Calon Ségur, who has the unique flavor and aroma that blows your mind. So what are you waiting for? Get her a bottle of Calon and show her where you heart belongs!
