Information on the vintageRed Bordeaux :55
The second of the renowed twin vintages. Whereas the 1899s had finesse and delicacy, the sort of feminine charm later associated with the 1929s and 1953s, the 1900s were more structured - to use a fashionable expression - well balanced and more obviously impressive. But it was also a superabundant vintage following perfect weather conditions and the wines were uniformly excellent.

The estate also produces a second wine called Calon Segur Marquess and the cru bourgeois Capbern Gasqueton.
