Calon was the name given to the boat used in the Middle Ages to transport wood from one bank of the Garonne to the other. And in the early 18th century, the Marquis de Ségur, who received the estate on the occasion of his marriage, added his name to it, thus founding the label of this Saint-Estèphe 3rd Grand Cru Classé.
