Lynch Bages vs Calon Ségur — Which Bordeaux Should You Buy?

Lynch Bages vs Calon Ségur — Which Bordeaux Should You Buy?

If Château Lynch-Bages and Château Calon-Ségur were sitting in front of you at roughly the same price, which Bordeaux would you buy? After more than thirty years of collecting both estates, I’ve found myself comparing them again and again. Château Lynch-Bages gives me the generosity, concentration and savoury power of Pauillac. Château Calon-Ségur is usually cooler, firmer and more structured, with the freshness and precision of Saint-Estèphe. In this video, I compare four vintages across both estates: 2009, 2016, 2018 and 2025 en primeur. I look at how the wines have evolved, which estate I prefer in each vintage, what I originally paid, what the wines cost today—and most importantly: Which bottles would I actually spend my money on now?
