<p>Château Phelan Segur, Saint Estephe, Bordeaux, France, 2020Grapes: 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot, 70ha vineyard on gravel/clay soil, 35 year average vine age, manual harvest, 14 months’ ageing in French oak barrelsCritics’ Tasting Notes:”The 2020 Phélan Ségur is rich and generous, unwinding in the glass with aromas of sweet berries, cherries and plums mingled with hints of violets and spices and framed by creamy new oak. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and layered, it’s a concentrated, structured wine underpinned by a chassis of generously extracted tannin that lends it a somewhat youthfully chunky profile.”93/100 points, William Kelley, WINE ADVOCATE”Chocolate, espresso, cedar, spice, currants and incense aromatics are all over the place here. On the palate, the concentrated, deep wine offers, lift, lush, sensuously-textured., multiple layers of sweet, ripe, dark red fruits with a touch of polish to the tannins. The wine lingers and expands on your palate, which only makes you want to taste it again for the pleasure of it. This is the finest vintage ever produced by Phelan Segur. Fans of the estate should be all over this gem!”95/100 points, Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider, March 2023Chateau Phelan Segur, Saint Estephe, 2020</p>
