Tasting note:

Der 2015er Phélan Ségur präsentiert sich in einer mittel- bis tiefgranat-violetten Farbe und besticht in der Nase durch Aromen von roten und schwarzen Johannisbeeren, ergänzt durch erdige Noten von Pilzen, getrockneten Kräutern, feuchter Erde und Tapenade. Am Gaumen ist er mittelkräftig mit einem guten Fruchtkern, festen und bissfesten Tanninen sowie einer angenehmen Frische.

 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.
