Tasting Notes: Made from Cabernet Sauvignon (60%) and Merlot (40%) grapes. The grapes are rigorously harvested by hand before being vinified and then aged entirely in barrels for 20 months.
The Graves terroir allows the vines to flourish fully, as the average age of our vines is 30 years. This is also a sign of the respect for our terroir in our practices.
Our wines are full-bodied, powerful and harmonious with hints of red fruits.
Château Ségur de Cabanac in Saint-Estèphe belongs to the Delon family, who also own Château Moulin de la Rose in Saint-Julien-Beychevelle. The Delons have been making wine in the Médoc for seven generations. Acquired in 1985 by Guy Delon, Château Moulin de la Rose is now managed by his children, Jean-François (Technical Director) and Guylène (Administrative Director).
Château Ségur de Cabanc takes its name from the illustrious and powerful family of the same name whose history was entwined with that of the Médoc going back to the 16th century. This aristocratic Bordeaux family owned great vineyards such as Lafite and Latour in Pauillac. Count Joseph-Marie de Ségur, Lord of Cabanac, in Saint-Estèphe – a direct descendant of Alexandre de Ségur, called « Prince of the Vines » – contributed greatly to the development of winegrowing in the Médoc and established the vineyard estate still bears his name: Ségur de Cabanac.
A gravelly terroir overlooking the river
The 7-hectare vineyard is located in the eastern part of Saint-Estèphe and overlooks the Gironde estuary. The terroir consists of a gravelly rise with excellent natural drainage. The vineyard also benefits from the fact that the river has a tempering effect on the microclimate, reducing extremes of temperature and giving rise to gentle breezes.
An average of 30 years old, the vines grow on one of the best gravelly rises in Saint-Estèphe. Consisting of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot, Château Ségur de Cabanac is a Saint-Estèphe combining a powerful structure that enables it to age and a complex bouquet of red fruit and forest floor.
