Description
This castle will be called Ch. Called Capbern, while it used to be Ch. Capbern was called Gasqueton. It is now also called: Château Capbern - THE OTHER PROPERTY OF CALON SÉGUR because it is part of Calon Segur and is also made by the same wine team.
It is the third wine, an integral member of the Calon Ségur family and it comes mainly from the young vines of the estate with a balanced blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Previously known as La Chapelle de Calon, then Le Saint-Estèphe de Calon Ségur, it was renamed Le C de Calon Ségur since the 2019 vintage. C like the third letter of the alphabet, for the third label of the estate. C like “Coeur”, the heart, symbol of the love that the Marquis de Ségur brought to the domain, and a unique distinguishing mark of our bottles.
C like Calon.
The Capbern 2018 is composed of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot and has an alcohol content of 14.6%. matured for 16 months in barriques, of which 60% new. Deep purple-black in color, it jumps out of the glass with vibrant scents of black raspberries, kirsch and fresh blackcurrants with nuances of cedar chest, pencil and forest floor plus a hint of lavender. Full, rich and packed with juicy fruit, with a firm line of grainy tannins and lots of freshness, ending with a spicy lift.

Wijnhuis
The origins of this Saint-Estèphe based estate go back to the XVIIIth century, out of a wedding between the Rivière and Capbern families, and then Capbern and Gasqueton. A few years later, in 1894, the Capbern-Gasqueton purchase a certain… Calon Ségur! Generations succeeded to each other at the head of these two mythical crus of Saint-Estèphe until 2011, which marks the passing of Denise Gasqueton, last owner carrying that name. It is then that Suravenir purchases these estates and blows a new dynamic, with the respect of the history.
Capbern’s terroir features an extraordinary qualitative breeding ground, in the proper nature of the soils. The soils, well exposed and slightly sloping, favor the perfect maturation of the berries and benefit from a good draining.
Under the same management as Calon Ségur, its sister estate, Capbern is benefiting from a gravity fed vat house of 37 vats, and an ageing cellar in which the wines are going to mature for 18 months.
