57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot. Intense sweet red berries on the nose, leading into a high-extract palate, elegantly judged, with fleshy raspberry fruit and firm fruit-coated tannins. Good ageing potential here, worth seeking out. Yields were 49 hl/ha. 14% abv. Picked 24th September to 11th October. 55% new oak.
"Based in the commune of St Estèphe, Phélan Ségur makes exceptional Bordeaux wine, which can be aged for a few years before drinking."
