Saint-Estephe

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.

Medium intensity colour, a ton of grip, juicy blackberry fruits, along with wild strawberries and pomegranate, sage and fennel;, very easy to drink, but with plenty of personality, this is a 2nd wine to look out for. No new oak for ageing. Philippe Van de Vyvere owner, Veronique Dausse director. 10% press wine.

Inside Bordeaux

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 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.

En poppende duft dominert av en parfymert nese, samt veldig fruktdreven av røde og mørke bær. Lukt av våt kalk, og veldig lagdelt. 

En smak som jeg sjeldent har smakt fra både produsenten eller fra Saint Estephe før. Konsentrasjonen tar dominans fra start, men legger seg pent i bakhånd etterhvert, hvor frukten kommer frem. Sorte jordbær, mørke rips, og røde solbær.
Høy syre, veldig høy konsentrasjon, polerte tette tanniner. 

Det beste jeg har smakt fra produsenten.

Mørke solbær, skogsbær, lær, tobakk, vått treverk, og nærmest plommesyltetøy på nesen. 

Smak av røde kirsebær og modne skogsbær. Pene, syrlige rustikke toner, med fin syre, ok konsentrasjon med ok lengde. Tett tanninstruktur.

An exceptional St Estèphe in this vintage, and one to seek out, not fully ready to drink today, but on its way. This has a tight structure, with creamy and succulent tannins, waves of black fruits, still young but you could fully dive in with a bit of clever carafing. One to get hold of. 70ha vineyard, owned by Philippe Van de Vyvere, director Veronique Dausse, consultants Michel Rolland and Julien Viaud.

Mørke rips, rød jordbær, vanilje og noe mineralitet på duft.  

Smak av tette, integrerte røde og mørke bær. En latterlig fin balanse mellom rustikke toner, syre og høy konsentrasjon. 

Smaking hos Phelan Segur.

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.

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.

Dyp lilla. Mørke bær - blå plommer, bjørnebær. Noe tre, røyk. Dempede tanniner, god syre, men noe kort

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.
