Description
Located in the village of Saint-Estèphe, Château Phélan Ségur has proudly overlooked the Gironde estuary since the early 19th century. Founded by Irishman, Bernard Phelan, the estate was developed by his son, Frank, and renamed Phélan Ségur in the early 20th century. The cellar and the vat room are integrated into the Château in a highly unsual architectural ensemble. The Grand Vin of Château Phélan Ségur comes from this magnificent terroir of Saint-Estèphe where power dominates. Strengthened by its origins, Château Phélan Ségur has created its identity based on elegance and finesse. With a certain restraint and great precision, it reveals the purity of the fruit, the accuracy of its structure, the silkiness of its tannins, all with a natural freshness. After long ageing, it reveals a bouquet of a rare complexity, the oak harmoniously integrated. This subtle and authentic balance creates an intense emotion. Château Phélan Ségur is known for its potential to age over several decades.
Tasting Note :
The 2021 vintage has a ruby red colour with purple reflections. The nose fascinates, with its intensity and complexity. Notes of juicy red fruits, spices and the intoxicating fragrance of old roses, alternating endlessly. Perfectly timed on the palate, dazzling and with great refinement. The density and concentration are there. The tension, taste and delicacy of the tannins are the mark of Phélan Ségur in its most timeless style.
