Owner's words
The 2024 Vintage has a bright red colour. The nose is expressive. It plunges us greedily into a basket of red fruit (Gariguette strawberry, white raspberry) and a hint of liquorice: a refreshingly complex aromatic dimension! On the palate, we discover a world of subtle tones. The attack is silky and delicate, with the Cabernet Sauvignon harvested when ripe adding freshness and graceful structure. The controlled mid-palate is built around chiselled, delicate tannins. The tension and balance of this Château Phélan Ségur 2024 make it a charming wine that will stand the test of time.
