Chateau Phelan Segur Saint Estephe 2015 750ml

This spicy Chateau Phelan Segur Saint wine shows how far the estate has moved from its over-use of new wood. In this bottling, the wood is subtle and doesn’t mask the rich fruit and the juicy acidity. It still has the structure of a Saint-Estèphe while keeping everything in good balance. Drink from 2024.

Appearance: Intense and lively with ruby reflections. Nose: Rich with notes of red fruits (strawberry, cherry) blended with subtle smoky and liquorice aromas. The delicate and delicious palate is supported by an unprecedented richness of taste.

The Chateau Phelan Segur Saint wine is harmonious, it shows a perfect balance between the fat and sweetness of the Merlot and the powerful tannins of the Cabernet Sauvignon. A vintage characterised by its concentration, the intensity of the flavours and the quality of the tannins.

Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2015 Phélan Ségur has a nose of red and black currants with earthy notes of fungi, dried herbs, damp soil and tapenade. The palate is medium-bodied with a good fruit core, firm and chewy tannins and nice freshness.

This has an air of authority with pristine red fruits, cassis and leafy aromas that lead to a palate with a powerful core of fine, long and fresh tannins. Plenty of ageing potential here. Try from 2025.

After more than thirty years in charge of the property, the Gardinier family has decided to pass on the reins to Philippe Van de Vyvere. For this great wine enthusiast, taking over this prestigious growth is the fulfilment of one of his most cherished dreams.
