This is the beating heart of Bordeaux, captured at full crescendo and bottled for a grand occasion.
A Love Letter in a Magnum
This is the kind of bottle that anchors a cellar. A magnum from the epic 2005 vintage, from one of the Left Bank’s most soul-stirring estates. The nose opens like an old library: dried blackcurrants, truffle, and leather-bound books. The palate is monumental yet composed, the fruit still dark and vivid, framed by tannins that once roared and now purr with polish.
In magnum, its rhythm slows, allowing for a deeper, more graceful evolution. The heart on the label is still there, embossed and lingering in every sip. After all, while the Marquis de Ségur owned Lafite and Latour, it was here at Calon that he left his heart.
How to Enjoy
Open this only when the moment calls for a memory. Decant gently and serve with a magnificent feast.
