Tasting Notes

Lovely dark red; complex aromas with mature blackberry notes with subtle vanilla. In the mouth, the wine is strong and concentrated. Tannins are really present and ensure a long life. "Ruby red dress with purple highlights. A great intensity nose with aromas of very ripe black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberries) in perfect harmony with discreet toasted and buttery notes. In the mouth, the tasty texture provides immense pleasure and recalls a perfect maturity in an early vintage. A ""classic"" Médoc style with racy tannins and a structure revealing elegance in attack, smoothness in the middle of the mouth and power at the end of the mouth." Ruby red colour with purple reflections. Great intensity on the nose with aromas of very ripe black fruit (blackcurrant, blackberry) in perfect harmony with discreet toasty and buttery notes.

About this product +

Winemaking >

"April: thanks to our terroir, our proximity to the Gironde estuary and our plots located on mounds, frost event on April 27-28-29 spared the east of the Saint Estèphe Appellation and so Château Phélan Ségur . May and June: above-average mild and rainfall. July and August: the early veraison provided very good conditions for ripening and for breaking down the pyrazines. The absence of vegetal character allows fine aromatic expression in the grapes. September and October: cool September with significant rainfall in the first half of the month. October dry on the first decade."
