Calon-Segur Chateau Capbern St. Estephe 2022

Château Capbern’s history in Saint-Estèphe dates back to the 18th century, originating from marriages between the Rivière, Capbern, and Gasqueton families. Notably, in 1894, the Capbern-Gasquetons acquired the prestigious Château Calon Ségur. These two renowned estates remained under the same family ownership for generations until 2011, when Denise Gasqueton, the last of the family line, passed away. Subsequently, Suravenir purchased both properties, ushering in a new era while respecting their rich heritage.

Capbern’s terroir is exceptional, characterized by well-exposed, gently sloping, sandy-gravelly soils mixed with clay and chalk. These conditions promote optimal grape maturation and excellent drainage.

Sharing management with its sister estate, Calon Ségur, Capbern boasts a gravity-fed vat house with 37 vats and an aging cellar where wines mature for 18 months. Their equipment and winemaking quality are second to none.
