Tasting note:
The extraordinary thing about this wine is its character. It has the aroma of a great, noble Bordeaux, it has something sublime about it. This wine with its flavours of concentrated dark, almost black fruit, the fine herbal nuances, the spice of liquorice, eucalyptus, vanilla, rose scent and dark chocolate give it its stately complexity. The size of this Red wine from France is evident in all individual aspects: in the structure, in the finish, in the exceptional flavour.
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.
