The most impressive thing about Calon-Segur is its consistency. Like most traditional classed growths, St Estèphes age relatively slowly but has a distinct and very upright style, with no shortage of acidity and tannin. Most impressive were the 2000 (which I have bought), 1996, 1995, 1990, 1989, 1982 -Jancis Robinson, Dec. 7, 2001
It's a marvellous wine that you can drink every day and it's also very affordable. -Johnny Depp, quoted in Madame Figaro Magazine, Dec. 2005
