Château Phélan Ségur

Located in the commune of Saint-Estèphe, Château Phélan Ségur has proudly dominated the Gironde estuary since the early 19th century. Founded by Irishman Bernard Phelan, the estate was developed by his son Frank and renamed Phélan Ségur in the early 20th century. The cellar and vat room are integrated into the château in a highly atypical architectural ensemble

The estate covers 114 hectares, including 44 hectares of parks, forests, meadows, streams and ponds, forming a remarkable biodiversity reserve. Its 70 hectares of vines benefit from the thermal regulation provided by the proximity of the river; they are divided into four very distinct islets and express the diversity of the appellation's clay-gravel soils
The result is powerful wines, often characterized by their tannic structure. The Phélan Ségur style is distinguished by its elegance, pure, complex aromas, finesse and precision, the quality of its tannins and its balance
Philippe Van de Vyvere has been the owner since January 2018. Initiated at an early age by his grandfather, this great Bordeaux connoisseur fell in love with Château Phélan Ségur. He intends to apply his entrepreneurial values in the pursuit of aesthetics and technique, while respecting environmental balance
