Château Phélan Ségur

Bordeaux
Saint-Estèphe, France

Located in the village of Saint-Estèphe, Château Phélan Ségur has proudly overlooked the Gironde estuary since the early 19th century.
Founded by Irishman Bernard O'Phelan, the estate was developed by his son, Frank, and renamed Phélan Ségur at the beginning of the 20th century. The cellar and the vat room are integrated into the Château itself, a highly unusual arrangement, from an architectural and historical but also a technical perspective.
The property extends over 114 hectares, including 44 hectares of parks, forests, meadows, streams, and ponds, forming a remarkable oasis of biodiversity. Its 70 hectares of vineyards benefit from the temperature regulation provided by the proximity of the Gironde river; they are divided into four very distinct terroirs, and reflect the diversity of the clay-gravel soils of the appellation.
They are the birthplace of powerful wines that often exhibit a characteristic tannic structure. The Phélan Ségur style is noted for its elegance, its pure and complex aromas, its finesse and precision, the quality of its tannins, and its balance.
Philippe Van de Vyvere took over as owner in 2018. Initiated into the world of wine by his grandfather at an early age, this great connoisseur of Bordeaux immediately fell in love with Château Phélan Ségur. He intends to apply his entrepreneurial values to the pursuit of aesthetic and technical excellence while safeguarding the ecological equilibrium.
