Château Calon-Ségur--Vintage 1947
Saint-Estèphe, 3me cru classé
Recent Château release. New Château capsules, one slightly damaged. All labels slightly bin-soiled, one damaged. Levels base of neck or better. In original wooden case
Vintage Report 1947 *****
The second of the three great post-war vintages. An increasingly hot summer followed by harvesting in almost tropical conditions. The grapes had an exceptionally high sugar content but the heat caused serious fermentation problems, resulting in quite a few wines suffering from high volatile acidity. On the whole, exceptionally rich, almost voluptuous wines, though some living dangerously. M.B.
