The harmony of a powerful and fresh wine from Saint-Estephe
The estate
Proudly overlooking the Gironde estuary since the beginning of the 19th century, the Chateau Phelan-Segur vineyard is divided into four separate plots in the heart of the Saint-Estephe appellation.
The vineyard
The 70 hectares of vines are planted in an exceptional clay soil in the Saint-Estephe appellation.
The vintage
The mild and rainy spring brought a rather early budding and flowering, suggesting a great potential for the vintage. The radiant summer was followed by an Indian summer, which created the perfect conditions just before the harvest.
The blend
Cabernet sauvignon (76,1%), merlot (42%), cabernet franc (2%).
The tasting
Combining power and freshness, the 2019 vintage delivers a very high quality Chateau Phelan-Segur. The color is deep red with purplish reflections. On the nose, the aromas of ripe black fruit mingle with toasted notes to form a complex bouquet. On the palate, the Phelan-Segur 2019 becomes quite juicy and crunchy, while offering a beautiful harmony, freshness and aromatic persistence.
