Dark-fruited and brooding, the 2016 Château Phélan Ségur layers pure cassis and black plum with notes of violet, pencil shavings, earth and subtle smoke, all wrapped in a precise, finely etched structure. The palate is concentrated yet graceful, with firm, refined tannins and a long, dry, mineral-tinged finish that shows the depth and classic character of this outstanding vintage in Saint-Estèphe.

Château Phélan Ségur is the grand vin of this historic Saint-Estèphe estate, a Cabernet Sauvignon–Merlot–dominant red that marries the appellation’s classic power and firm tannic structure with an unusually polished, elegant style. Sourced from clay-gravel vineyards near Montrose and Calon-Ségur, it tends to show deep blackcurrant and dark berry fruit, floral and spicy notes, and the capacity to age for decades while gaining complexity and finesse.
