Histoire du domaine
Bernard O’Phélan, an Irish wine merchant who settled in Bordeaux at the end of the 18th century, acquired the Clos de Garramey in Saint-Estèphe in 1805, followed by the Ségur de Cabanac estate in 1810. These two estates formed the core of the property. On Bernard Phélan’s death in 1841, the estate, then known as Château Ségur de Garramey, passed to his son Frank Phélan. He managed the estate and also served as mayor of Saint-Estèphe for thirty years. The Phélan family commissioned the construction of a Palladian-style château designed with winemaking in mind, with the fermentation vats and wine cellar integrated into the building. In the early 20th century, Château Ségur de Garramey adopted the name Château Phélan Ségur. The estate was subsequently owned by the Delon family, before being acquired by the Gardinier family in 1985. The Gardinier family managed the estate until 2017. Philippe Van de Vyvere became the owner in 2018. Today, Véronique Dausse is the managing director and Fabrice Bacquey is the cellar master.
