2023 · Château Phélan Ségur

Château Phélan Ségur is a historic Saint-Estèphe estate in Bordeaux, founded by Bernard Phelan and now owned by Philippe Van de Vyvere and the Van de Vyvere family. Managed by Véronique Dausse, with Fabrice Bacquey in the cellar and Luc Peyronney in the vineyards, the property combines long Médoc heritage with a modern, precise approach. Its farming emphasizes sustainability, biodiversity, soil health, mass selection, and extensive tree planting and hedging. In the winery, parcel-by-parcel vinification and indigenous yeasts underline a detailed, terroir-focused philosophy. The resulting style is consistently associated with elegance, finesse, harmony, and refined Saint-Estèphe character.
