The House of Ségur is an old French noble family dating backto the 9th century. The Marquis de Ségur, Nicholas Alexandre (1697 - 1755) was the largest owner of vineyards in Bordeaux (owning three First Growths: Latour, Lafite and Mouton, as well as Calon Ségur and Pontet Canet, amongst others) which earned him the nickname ‘Prince of Vines’ from King Louis XV. Today’s 47 hectare vineyard, planted in 1992 is owned by Gisèle and Daniel Vidal with their son Florian taking an active role in the winemaking process. Situated on a vast limestone plateau overlooking the breathtaking Segur Valley in the heart of Entre-deux-Mers, the site was originally a quarry and the winery and cellar are carved into the rock itself. Ségure translates from Old French as “well-defended”.
