The vineyard of Château Phélan Ségur covers 70 hectares of magnificent clay-gravels on the hillocks and plateaux of Saint-Estèphe. With average age of the vines: 35 years. Fermentation takes place over ten days. Maceration for about twenty days. Aged in half new barrels for between 14 and 18 months. Intense ruby red color with purplish reflections. Pure nose of incredible intensity, dominated by notes of perfectly ripe red fruits. Gourmet and harmonious attack, exceptional tannic structure, persistent and fleshy finish. Freshness, balance and great power characterize the vintage.
Serve at 16-18 °C with all types of classic meats.
Flowers, smoke, black fruit, red fruit, and blue fruit along with cedar and spice work well here. The wine has a solid depth of flavor packed with dark currants, polished, round textures, and a blast of chocolate-coated currants with mint and espresso in the rich finish. This could be the best vintage of Phelan Segur yet. Give it a few years in the cellar and it will be just great for 15 or more years after that. Drink from 2025-2042.
