Saint-Estèphe, Bordeaux, France, 2021 Vintages in-store may vary for click & collect orders
Château Phélan Ségur was founded by Irishman Bernard Phelan at the beginning 19th century when he combined two existing Saint-Estèphe vineyards. Upon Bernard’s death, in 1841, his son Frank Phelan took over the estate and expanded the vineyard holdings. Today the vineyards consist of 70ha of vines, divided into four distinct parts, the great diversity of this terroir accounts for Phélan Ségur’s signature complexity.
The winery has exchanged hands a number of times and today is owned by Philippe Van de Vyvere. In 2011 the winery enjoyed a large investment and was upgraded with state-of-the-art winemaking equipment.

One of the absolute standouts for me this year. A dark and brooding nose with purity and concentration. The palate is finely textured with mineral-laced tannins that give grip in the mouth but letting the nuances of fruit and acidity play out in harmony. I love the intensity, it's rich but perfectly executed - elegant and finessed with balance and charm but above all a sense of energy and freshness that makes it one of the more memorable wines. Despite the challenges of the vintage, the fruit is ripe and dense and this gives no drop in the mid palate, sustaining pace and directness from start to finish. This is the first time to have such high percentages of both Cabernet Sauvignon (75%) and Petit Verdot (4%) in the blend. A gorgeous wine that has such promise. A surefire must buy and what should be great value too. Tasted twice and both times this was delicious with exceptional freshness and longevity.
