Tasting note:
The 2015 Phélan Ségur displays a medium to deep garnet-violet colour and captivates on the nose with aromas of red and blackcurrants, complemented by earthy notes of mushrooms, dried herbs, damp earth and tapenade. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a good core of fruit, firm and chewy tannins, and a pleasant freshness.
Château Phélan Ségur is a renowned winery in Bordeaux, which is known as a Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel and regularly performs at the level of established Grand Cru Classé estates.
Location & Terroir
- Appellation: Saint-Estèphe on the left bank of the Gironde estuary.
- Neighbourhood: The vineyards are located in the direct neighbourhood of the famous top châteaux Château Montrose and Château Calon-Ségur.
- Floor: Characterised by a powerful Gravel layer (Garonne gravel), which merges into clayey sand and loam in the subsoil.
- MicroclimateThe proximity to the wide Gironde river has a temperature-regulating effect and protects the vines from extreme frost and heat.
Owner
- Current owner: The Belgian entrepreneur and logistics investor Philippe Van de Vyvere (owner of Sea-Invest) acquired the winery in September 2017.
- Management: The estate continues to be managed by the experienced general manager Véronique Dausse.
- HistoryFounded in 1810 by the Irishman Frank Phélan, it was later owned by the Delon family (Château Léoville-Las-Cases) and from 1985 by the Gardinier family.
Style & Characteristics
- Grape variety index: The approximately 70 hectares of vineyards are planted almost equally with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot supplemented by minimal proportions of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.
- Flavour profilePhélan Ségur combines the classic power and solid tannins of Saint-Estèphe with an unusually high level of acidity. Elegance, finesse and silkiness.
