    Vinification and aging

    The winemaking process at Château Calon Ségur is carried out with care and precision. The grapes are harvested by hand and then rigorously sorted. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled vats, allowing for the extraction of color and aromas while preserving the freshness of the fruit. Aging occurs in oak barrels, some of which are new, for a period of 12 to 16 months. This process brings structure and complexity to the wine, while respecting the identity of the terroir.
