Tasting Notes

Vinous Neal Martin - 17 Jun 25
Managing Director Véronique Dausse opened a 1995 Phélan Ségur on the first day of my visit during en primeur, and it turned out to be a very pleasant surprise since this is not regarded as a particularly auspicious decade for the estate. Showing modest bricking on the rim, the bouquet has a little more pep than I would have predicted given that it is now 30 years old, with lovely brambly redcurrant and raspberry fruit laced with pencil shavings and sous-bois plus a hint of lavender in the background. The palate is fully mature and very well balanced, not powerful or deep yet fresh with a pretty, Saint-Julien-inspired finish that lingers. This is well worth seeking out. Tasted at the château.

Saint-Estèphe Fine Wine

Saint-Estephe

Saint-Estèphe, a prestigious Bordeaux appellation in the northern Médoc, is known for robust, full-bodied red wines primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon, with Merlot and smaller amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. These wines are deeply coloured, with firm tannins and rich flavours of dark fruits, earth, and spice, making them structured and age-worthy. Top producers include Château Cos d'Estournel, Château Montrose, and Château Calon-Ségur. The region's gravelly and clay-rich soils contribute to the wines' distinctive character and complexity.
