Château Phélan Ségur St Estèphe Frank Phélan 2020

The second wine of Château Phélan Segur, named after its one-time Irish owner. Austere and more serious than most vintages, reflecting the character of the 2020 wines, but this is full of bright cassis and blueberry fruit, and is balanced, precise and layered with attractive rose petal and raspberry leaf character on the close of play. Harvest September 16 to October 1, from a mix of young vines across the vineyard, and a specific plot of older vines. Will continue to deliver over the next decade, give a few hours in a carafe before drinking if planning on opening soon, 3.7ph.
