An Icon of Saint-Estèphe – Château Calon-Ségur 2018
Château Calon-Ségur 2018 is a magnificent expression of the Saint-Estèphe appellation, capturing the essence of this historic vineyard. Known for its exceptional terroir and impeccable craftsmanship, this wine offers depth, power, and elegance, making it one of the most prestigious in Bordeaux.
Tasting Notes
Château Calon-Ségur 2018 is an impressive wine with a rich bouquet of dark fruits such as blackcurrant, blackberry, and plum. Subtle notes of tobacco, leather, and graphite add complexity, while a touch of spice and a hint of cedar round out the experience. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, with a robust structure and fine-grained tannins. The balance between ripe fruit and integrated oak provides a harmonious profile, while the lingering finish offers a promise of even greater development with age.
Perfect Serve
This wine pairs excellently with rich, hearty dishes like roasted lamb, grilled beef, or a beef tenderloin. It also complements aged cheeses such as Comté or mature cheddar. Best enjoyed at a slightly cooler room temperature, Château Calon-Ségur 2018 can be cellared for several years to evolve further.
The Producer & Vineyard
Château Calon-Ségur has been a hallmark of the Saint-Estèphe appellation for centuries, producing wines of remarkable quality and character. The estate sits on a gravel hill with excellent drainage, creating an ideal environment for growing Bordeaux’s classic grape varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. The vineyard is meticulously managed, with a focus on sustainability and respect for the environment.
Vinification & Ageing
The wine undergoes fermentation in stainless steel tanks, followed by malolactic fermentation. It is then aged in French oak barrels, with a proportion of new oak to impart complexity and structure. This traditional approach ensures that the wine retains its fruit-forward character while developing layers of richness from the oak.

Stunning depth and rich body. I can almost tell if a red wine is going to be good by the lack of a white rim around when you pour the glass. This has a lovely blood ted colour and delivers.

I'm just going to be honest here, I'm a Gavi Girl and have been trying to find this little gem for a while. It's absolutely delicious and so adaptable too. Thrilled with the price, delivery and service and happily ordering more!

A lovely drink and remarkably good value . Smooth and buttery with that unmistakable Napa terroir writ large. Nothing not to like.

Another fantastic wine tasting. But with a difference. Wine bottles concealed in black numbered bags 1-7. Black glasses. So we were unaware of what we were tasting, having to rely on taste and smell alone. We had tasting notes to guide our thoughts once we had made a few notes ourselves. It was great fun. I managed to at least figure out whether or not the wine was red. But missed the rose and mistook one white for red.
The Wine Shop tasting are great fun. Highly recommend.

Great evening getting confused and educated at the very interesting Mystery Wine Tasting with 7 secret wines in black bags to taste using black glasses so you couldn’t tell if it was white, rose, or red. Kelli and Caroline gave great guidance and helped us work through what we were smelling and tasting to get to a grape and country. My two fears were that (1) I wouldn’t recognise a Tempranillo (especially as it turned out to be one I have often purchased!) and (2) that I’d actually like a Merlot!!! (Luckily there wasn’t one 😂). Another brilliant wine tasting.

We really enjoyed the Rose Wine Tasting which showcased a great selection of styles so that there was something that suited everyone around our table . Really informative about the different production methods and busted some myths! Wine Shop Winscombe tastings are always great value and great fun.

The first time I tasted the Long Barn I paid £15 for a large glass in a upmarket town pub. £15!! Oh my though, it was delicious..
Full bodied, fruity with and intense spicy finish, I had to fight my partner for the rest of the glass once he’d been given a taste.
Imagine my delight when I found it here at Vinoshop for less than £15 for the bottle! I’ll take a cheeky box of 6 thanks!

Another great wine tasting, with an exciting range of Summer Wines. Starting with a surprisingly good gently sparkling Asti, with an outstanding Penfolds 311 Chardonnay, with some fresh Summery reds including a great, full bodied Cabernet Franc from Argentina. As ever, expertly curated and explained. Looking forward to the next tastings.

The dark fruit, hint of spice and chocolate make for a truly delicious Valpolicella! I’m here to order another six bottle.. yum! 😋

I am very much enjoying this whisky in the evening for a night cap. It is beautifully smooth, well balanced, with a elegant floral sweetness.

I recently shopped at vinoshop.co.uk and was really impressed. The website is easy to use, with helpful wine descriptions that made choosing the right bottle a lot simpler. I was looking for a gift for a Ruby anniversary, and their team suggested a stunning Portuguese red wine—it was perfect!
The checkout process was smooth, and my order arrived quickly, beautifully packaged. Plus, the customer service was fantastic—they were quick to answer my questions and offer great advice.
If you're after quality wines and excellent service, I highly recommend The Wine Shop. It’s a great experience from start to finish.

Thank you so much for the recommendation, it went beautifully with the mackerel we had last night.

Just right for sharing with my visiting family and now for supping on the Isles of Scilly.
Thank you Matthew and Kelli (and new team member Carolyn? whom I have yet to meet!). Great to hear about your new business plans. J.

Pre-selected white wine case of 12, a lovely selection perfect for summer bbq’s and entertaining. Super fast delivery too.

Absolutely fantastic pure nectar, heavenly!
