CHâTEAU PHéLAN-SéGUR 1996

The Gardiniers who purchased the property in the 1980’s have kept Phelan Segur at the upper echelons of the St-Estephe hierarchy. Not a wine to impress American palates, this is a quintessentially ‘European’ style of claret. Not too big, oaky, concentrated, just everything in the right place. The second wine, Frank Phélan, is especially good value.
