Producer: Frank Phélan serves as the second wine of Château Phélan Ségur, a distinguished Saint-Estèphe estate owned by the Gardinier family since 1985.

The 2018 Vintage represents exceptional value from one of the Left Bank's most reliable producers, crafted from younger vines and selected parcels that don't make it into the château's grand vin.

Located in the heart of Saint-Estèphe with its clay-limestone soils, the estate benefits from the appellation's cooler microclimate that produces wines of natural structure and longevity. This vintage showcases winemaker Fabrice Bacquey's skill in creating an approachable yet serious Bordeaux that captures the essence of Saint-Estèphe's distinctive character, offering the appellation's trademark power and mineral complexity whilst providing earlier drinking pleasure than many of its classified growth neighbours.
