The parcels of this property are situated on the eastern part of the town Saint-Estephe. The estate, composed of gravel, is oriented at the estuary of the Gironde. Thanks to the valuable advices of Eric Boissenot, one of the most famous winemakers in the world, who advises 4 of the first 5 Grands Crus Classés of Medoc, the Delon family continues to improve its superb Cru Bourgeois.
The story
The Segur were many, to settle in large Medoc vineyards. Le Comte Joseph Marie de Segur, the Lord of Cabanac, went to become wine grower on this estate, which still bears his name “Ségur de Cabanac.” Coming from a family of wine makers for 7 generations, Guy Delon took over the property in 1985. Today he continues to manage the estate with his son and his daughter. They also own another Cru Bourgeois, Château Moulin de la Rose in Saint-Julien.
