Château Phélan Ségur

Located in the northern end of the commune, close to the Gironde River and directly east of the Saint-Estephe village, the Phelan Segur estate neighbours the Chateaux Calon Segur and Montrose. 70 hectares of vineyards are planted to 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot, and a soupcon of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc.

The estate was founded by Irishman Bernard O’Phelan, who combined the vineyards ‘Clos de Garramey’ and ‘’Segur’ and, in the early 20^th century, renamed the estate ‘Phelan Segur’. Bernard’s son, Frank Phelan, built the chateau in the late 1860s. Fast forward to 2018, when Belgian investor, Philippe Van de Vyvere (owner of Sea-Invest) acquired the estate.  

Phelan Segur has ‘Cru Bourgeois’ status, which is a small classification used for chateaux which were not included in the 1855 classification but to acknowledge exceptional stewardship of land and consistently high quality of wine produced. Around 20,000 cases of wine are produced annually, and Phelan Segur is known for its softness and perfume, and for being long lived yet very enjoyable young.

This is very good Bordeaux at an agreeable price.
