Château Phélan Ségur
About
Château Phélan Ségur located in the heart of the village of Saint-Estèphe was built at the beginning of the 19th century.
Founded by Bernard Phélan of Irish origin, the property was developed by his son Frank and became Château Phélan Ségur at the beginning of the 20th century.
The property extends over 114 hectares, including 44 hectares of parks, forests, meadows, streams, and ponds, and 70 hectares of vines.
The chateau produces wines characterized by their tannic structure, elegance, pure and complex aromas.
Philippe Van de Vyvere, a great Bordeaux wine enthusiast fell in love with the property and acquired it in January 2018.
Visits
Château Phélan Ségur offers a great variety of tastings including vertical tastings and wine and food pairings
Jean-Luc Beaufils, the new chef Château Phélan Ségur, the native of Normandy, invented simple, authentic and gourmet recipes which you can enjoy for lunch, dinner and tea time. Taste foie gras smoked with rum, spices and hay from the banks of the Gironde, mullet marinated in Bordeaux whisky, and cabbage crackers made of Médoc hazelnuts.
During harvest time, the chateau offers gourmet picnics.
My favorite is a flute of Champagne in the park of the chateau under the century-old trees.
