The Story

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.

 

An old vintage opens new aromatic horizons with an unexpected richness: the warmth of spices, the generosity of ripe fruits and the nobility of leather. Its texture is refined, its power is calmed. This fullness is a testimony to the passage of time and this blossoming is the reward of astute patience. Exceptional vintages born of the generosity of Nature transcended by the talent of man. Beyond these undisputed landmarks, there are vintages dear to the Gardinier family and the team at the Château. They are witnesses to the life of the property and the expression of great emotions.

Written Notes

Phelan Segur - 56% Merlot, 40% C. Sauvignon, 2% C. Franc and 2% P. Verdot. 14.2% alcohol. This property's been on the great run during recent vintages, and 2022 is no exception. It is powerful, has a strong backbone, is juicy and vibrant, has great complexity, strong structure, and superb mid-palate. Long aftertaste. This wine is truly impressive and an excellent value for the money! 95-96p.

  • 96p

Dark purple colour with violet hue and black core. Aromatic nose, complex and rich with freshness and class. Aroma reminiscent of ripe blackcurrants, blackcurrant spurs, mulberries and hints of blackberries, fine floral hints and gingerbread spices. Elegant toasting with dark chocolate and hints of mocha in the background. On the palate well structured and balanced with full-bodied character. Ripe and almost silky tannins, juicy fruit quoting the nose, elegant gingerbread spices and floral hints with a whiff of liquorice in the background. This is a truly great Phélan-Ségur, the best ever tasted en primeur, with precision, purity and a lot of freshness.
