2022 Château Phélan Ségur En Primeur
2022 Château Phélan Ségur is described by Neal Martin as 'quintessentially St-Estèphe' in style (he gives it 95-97 points, the same as 'super-second' St-Estèphe Cos d'Estournel), whilst Suckling ponders if this is the best ever from this estate. Suckling rates it even better than near-namesake Calon Segur across the village, which when it is released, will be over twice the price!
Phelan Segur has always had a strong following in the UK and the 2022 should sell out quickly.
Landing spring 2025.

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.
