Description
The Grand Vin of Château Phélan Ségur comes from this magnificent terroir of Saint-Estèphe where power dominates.
Strengthened by its origins, Château Phélan Ségur has created its identity based on elegance and finesse. With a certain restraint and great precision, it reveals the purity of the fruit, the accuracy of its structure, the silkiness of its tannins, all with a natural freshness. After long ageing, it reveals a bouquet of a rare complexity, the oak harmoniously integrated. This subtle and authentic balance creates an intense emotion.
Château Phélan Ségur is known for its potential to age over several decades. An old vintage opens new aromatic horizons with an unexpected richness: the warmth of spices, the generosity of ripe fruits and the nobility of leather. Its texture is refined, its power is calmed. This fullness is a testimony to the passage of time and this blossoming is the reward of astute patience.

Tasting
Robert Parker wrote in spring 2012: "A Sleeper of the vintage, this is a beautiful follow up in a much more challenging vintage to their exceptional 2009. Deep, purple-hued, with a nose of mulberries, black currents and cassis, the wine is dense, medium bodied, ripe for a 2011, with good underlying acidity and a seriously endowed, layered texture. The tannins are present, but well integrated and ripe. Drink it over the next 10 to 12 years."
