What you will taste
Saint-Estèphe has a reputation for stern wines, and Phélan Ségur spends every vintage disproving it: yes, there is structure and cool northern earth, but wrapped in ripe cassis and cherry with a genuinely friendly texture. The 2018 is one of its best recent efforts, generous without losing the appellation's backbone. An insider's compromise between power and pleasure.
The sommelier’s note
«Forty-five minutes of air, 17 degrees. It carries a hearty dinner on its shoulders without complaint.»
