Note di degustazione
The 2024 Phélan Ségur has a much higher proportion of Cabernet than usual, as they lost some of their Merlot to the year’s high mildew pressure. The wine is nicely perfumed and pure on the nose, with delicate white flowers. On the palate, it’s beautifully concentrated, with a sense of generosity. Marrying power and elegance, this has a beautiful mouth-feel and a very pure finish – full of tension. This is a beautifully balanced Phélan Ségur. Yield of 30hl/ha, with 13% alcohol and 3.72pH. Blend: 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot

Harvested between September 30 and October 14, one of the latest harvests in the Médoc, the 2024 Château Phélan Ségur is impressive, with a remarkable sense of purity and finesse. Currants, violets, ripe cherries, and spicy herbs all define the aromatics. It's medium-bodied and seamless on the palate, with a pure, elegant mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a great finish. The blend is 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and 2% Petit Verdot, from yields of 30 hectoliters per hectare, and it will spend 16 to 18 months in 55% new French oak. It comes in at 13% alcohol with a pH of 3.72. This is an incredibly successful Médoc that should evolve gracefully over the next two decades.
Austere opening, you feel the shape and length of the tannins, well placed and skilfully constructed, with slim Cabernet floral rose petals and peony notes alongside savoury bilberry fruit, touch of liquorice bud and fresh juice on this finish. Finessed, drawn out, expertly constructed. Harvest 30 September to 14 October. 30 hl/ha. 55% new oak. 3.72 pH, Veronique Dausse director. Tasted twice.
The 2024 Phélan Ségur is an absolute delight. Dark and ample, the 2024 offers up a compelling mix of black cherry, leather, game, incense, licorice, gravel and pipe tobacco. All the elements are so well balanced. The blend is 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot, in other words, a very high percentage of Cabernet. That comes through nicely in the wine's aromatic finish. Phélan Ségur is shaping up to be one of the highlights of the year. Tasted four times.
