Saint-Estephe

The 2021 Phelan Segur has a medium to deep garnet-purple color. It needs a fair bit of shaking to wake up notes of red and black currants, fresh blackberries, and crushed stones, plus nuances of espresso, cedar chest, and pencil lead. The medium-bodied palate is tightly wound with black fruit and earthy layers, framed by firm, grainy tannins and bags of freshness, finishing long and savory.

They do a great job at Phélan of maintaining estate character consistently, and here you get the damson and blackberry fruit of St Estephe, with a full mid palate. The tannins are a little angular through the finish from the fresh acidities but this is an enjoyable wine. Harvest September 29 to October 13. IPT 85. 55% new oak. An upscore, tasted twice.

Inside Bordeaux

Expert

Austere opening, you feel the shape and length of the tannins, well placed and skilfully constructed, with slim Cabernet floral rose petals and peony notes alongside savoury bilberry fruit, touch of liquorice bud and fresh juice on this finish. Finessed, drawn out, expertly constructed. Harvest 30 September to 14 October. 30 hl/ha. 55% new oak. 3.72 pH, Veronique Dausse director. Tasted twice.

The 2023 Phelan Segur is deep garnet-purple in color. Notes of crushed blackcurrants, fresh blackberries, and Morello cherries hop from the glass, giving way to hints of dried Provence herbs, black pepper, and graphite. The medium-bodied palate is lively and refreshing, with a light chewiness to the tannins and a savory finish. The blend is 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, and 2% Petit Verdot.

Delivering, as it so often does, richly textured, concentrated and powerful black fruits, a sterling example of the 2020 vintage in St Estèphe, turmeric, crayon and smoked earth notes, lime blossom and pomegranate adding texture and complexity, great stuff. Yields 40hl/ha, harvest September 16 through to October 1, finishing around 10 days earlier than the past two years. Consultants Michel Rolland and Julien Viaud. First vintage with Petit Verdot included in the main wine, from vines planted in 2013.

A ton of complexity is immediately apparent from the first time you wave your nose over the glass, from layers of black fruits to freshly grated nutmeg. On the palate, we are almost in Christmas cake territory, with plump juicy fruits, spiced liquorice, black pepper and plenty of concentration. This is a brilliant wine, confident tannins, well delivered, will be ready to drink in four or five years, but will age for decades. Michel Rolland consultant. 56% new oak, 3.8ph, lives up to En Primeur expectations.

The 2018 Phelan Segur is deep garnet-purple in color. It leaps with scents of fresh blackcurrants, warm plums, and clove oil, plus suggestions of pencil lead, cedar, and wild sage, with a waft of crushed rocks. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has sturdy, grainy tannins and a lively line supporting muscular black fruits, finishing with an herbal lift.

WSET 3

Lukt av tørket frukt, tørr jord, skogbunn, treverk og mineralitet. 

Smak av røde og mørke bær, jordbær og svarte rips. Høy syre, med høy konsentrasjon. 

Smakt hos Chateau Phelan Segur.

The 2013 Phelan Segur has a medium garnet color, with a touch of brick. It offers meagre notes of dried herbs, pencil lead, and tobacco leaf, with a core of dried cranberries and fig paste. The light to medium-bodied palate is a little thin and green, with chewy tannins and an herbs-laced finish.

The 2012 Phelan Segur is medium to deep garnet colored. The nose is tired, with notes of balsamic, dried mulberries, and figs, plus dusty soil, sauteed herbs, and leather. The medium-bodied palate is tiring with fading fruit and a subtle spiciness, going a touch hard on the finish.

Mørk rød nesten mot blod, tett kjerne med en svak antydning til bruning i kanten. Solbær, bjørnebær, solbærblader, ristet sort pepper, en meget delikat blomstrethet. Medium syre, fin balanse med litt bløt frukt og litt varme i halsen som kunne minne om litt alkoholsk (13% alko) uten at det nok er det. Lette fin tanniner som begynner å integreres men gir godt med tørring.  Litt kortere i avslutningen enn jeg skulle ønske

Ripe blackberry fruits, with some powerful tannins and a ton of sandalwood and cedar oak. More exuberant than the sculpted wines that Phelan has been making in recent years, this is fully in the spirit of a ripe 2009, enjoyable and full of personality, a little overworked. 50% new oak for ageing, Michel Rolland consultant.
