2020 Château Phélan Ségur, Cru Bourgeois St-Estèphe

2020 Château Phélan Ségur, Cru Bourgeois St-Estèphe

The first year to include Petit Verdot in the blend, the 2020 Phélan-Ségur is a remarkable wine for the sheer energy and purity in the glass. One of the best wines ever made at this estate, this delivers plenty of perfume of violet, iris, and crushed rocks with ripe, supple bramble fruit on the palate. A subtle note of sandalwood and roasted coffee lingers over the fruit with directional and focused Cabernet tannins driving through to the finish which is emphatically mineral.

Tasting notes

Bright and perfumed with some chocolate, berry, sandalwood and cedar. Very elegant and fine, medium to full-bodied palate with very integrated tannins and refined, polished texture. The tannins melt into the wine. Long finish with serious structure. Vivid and refined. Class here. Very Bordeaux. 54% cabernet sauvignon, 42% merlot, 2% cabernet franc and 2% petit verdot.
