Frank Phélan - Saint-Estèphe - Red - 2016 :

 

A Refined Claret: Frank Phélan by Château Phélan Ségur

The Frank Phélan is the distinguished second wine from the esteemed Château Phélan Ségur. It is a true Saint-Estèphe claret, capturing the appellation's characteristic power and structure but presenting it with an immediate roundness and silky texture. It is a fabulous introduction to the quality of this top non-classé estate, offering exceptional value for a wine that receives the same dedicated attention in the vineyard and cellar as its Grand Vin sibling.

Tasting Notes (Typical Vintage)

• Colour: A deep, attractive ruby red, hinting at its concentration and aging potential.
• Nose: An elegant bouquet of intense black fruit (cassis, plum) blended with spicy undertones, a touch of tobacco, and classic Medoc cedar notes.
• Palate: Fleshy and full-bodied, yet wonderfully balanced. The tannins are firm yet integrated and silky, giving the wine a polished mouthfeel and remarkable length. Its suppleness allows for enjoyment in its youth, making it a perfect addition to a fine dinner.

Pairing & Serving Suggestions

A classic pairing for the finest of British cuisine. Serve between 17°C and 18°C. Decant for an hour to soften the tannins and enhance the aromatic complexity.

• Closure: Natural Cork.
