Tasting: The Château Phélan Ségur 2011 offers an elegant and expressive profile, combining rich dark fruit aromas of blackberries and plums with hints of cedar, graphite, and tobacco. On the palate, it displays a fine balance of juicy fruit, firm tannins, and an integrated oak character that adds complexity. The wine has a lovely mid-palate weight, with a long, lingering finish, revealing layers of blackcurrant and earthy notes that make it a delight to savour. A quintessential Saint-Estèphe, this wine is both powerful and refined.
Pairing: Pair this robust wine with Miguel Vegara beef, or for a more delicate match, try Poulet de Bresse or Guinea Fowl. It also complements rich Ōra King Salmon or Alaskan Black Cod dishes. For a show-stopping pairing, enjoy it alongside a creamy Vacherin Mont d'Or or a decadent Truffle Pecorino. A perfect accompaniment to dishes with Wild Ceps mushrooms or even Black Truffle risotto.
Producer: Château Phélan Ségur is a historic estate located in the heart of the Saint-Estèphe appellation. With a history dating back to the early 19th century, it has become one of the key names in Bordeaux. Under the stewardship of the Phélan family, the estate has grown to be a beacon of quality, producing wines that reflect both the tradition and innovation of Bordeaux. The wine is crafted with a blend of old-world technique and modern precision, allowing the terroir of Saint-Estèphe to shine through in every bottle.
Vintage: The 2011 vintage in Bordeaux experienced a cooler than usual spring followed by a warm, dry summer, which led to a slightly later harvest. The Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes reached optimal ripeness in perfect conditions, producing a wine that is expressive and full of character. While 2011 was a challenging year, the wines from Saint-Estèphe, like Château Phélan Ségur, benefitted from the cooler conditions, resulting in wines with freshness, structure, and ageability.
