Producer Profile
Château Phélan Ségur, Cru Bourgeois Saint-Estèphe
Château Phélan Ségur is a Cru Bourgeois in Saint-Estèphe, which made its name under the guidance of Frank Phelan, the son of an Irish merchant, Bernard O'Phelan, who settled in Bordeaux and married into the Guestier family. Frank Phelan even became mayor of Saint-Estèphe and the Château Ségur added his surname to its own at the start of the 20th century.
Owned since the 1980s by the Gardinier family, the estate has 70 hectares of clay-gravel soils adjoining Calon-Segur and Montrose. Despite being approachable in just five or six years, Phélan Ségur is known for being long-lived.
