Country: France Region: St Estephe

Vintage: 2018

Varietal: Merlot / Cabernet Sauvignon 

 Colour: Red Style: Dry

Producer: Frank Phelan

Description: 

Created in 1986, Frank Phélan, the second wine of the Château, bears the name of the son of Bernard Phélan, founder of the estate. Frank Phélan comes from 15 hectares of old vines and a selection of vines of less than ten years. It respects the classic values of the Château by expressing another facet of its terroir. Frank Phélan associates indulgent fruit, intense and compelling, with an elegant structure of silky tannins. It undergoes 14 months’ ageing. Its roundness and suppleness allow it to be enjoyed from a young age.

Tasting Note : With a deep ruby color and aromas of blackberries, cassis, and vanilla, the Frank Phelan is a sensory delight. The palate is full-bodied and rich, with notes of dark fruit, chocolate, and spice that linger long after the last sip.
