In 1860 his son, Frank Phelan, built the stunning country house on the estate which by this time was the largest in the Saint Estephe appellation. In 2017 the property sold for a record €90 million to Belgian investor Philippe Van de Vyvere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday the property has 70 hectares of vineyards planted on exceptional terroir, sitting on a ridge of clay and gravel soils above the Gironde estuary. As the saying goes, “the greatest terroirs look to the water”, and Phelan Segur’s wines offer both power and character with excellent potential for extended ageing in the cellar over the next decade and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne of the outstanding wines in a recent blind tasting of Bordeaux 2012s, this is a blend of equal parts cabernet sauvignon and merlot. The wine has deep colour, an intense bouquet of chocolate and cloves, and impressive depth of flavour on the palate. This is a polished and attractive wine with a promising future.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cimg alt=\"Chateau Phelan Segur 6 Bottle Gift Case in Wood\" src=\"https:\/\/searsons.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/Phelan_Segur_6_pack_c543b325-5531-4d80-99bb-e8416e167235_1050x700.jpg?v=1762779024\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chateau Phelan Segur","offers":[{"title":"6 Bottle Case","offer_id":53557020655947,"sku":"WOLRE11708S","price":390.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Single Bottle","offer_id":53557039399243,"sku":null,"price":75.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0213\/9218\/files\/Phelansegurwood.jpg?v=1762862854","url":"https:\/\/wineonline.ie\/products\/chateau-phelan-segur-saint-estephe-2012","provider":"WineOnline","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
