Located in the village of Saint-Estephe Chateau Phelan Segur has proudly overlooked the Gironde estuary since the early 19th century. Its history is intimately linked with that of the Medoc. Founded by Irishman Bernard Phelan when he united Clos de Garramey and Domaine Segur de Cabanac the estate was developed by his son Frank and renamed Phelan Segur in the early 20century. Consisting of seventy hectares of vines divided into four distinct parts the great diversity of the terroir accounts for Phelan Segur’s complexity. The cellar and vat room are integrated into the chateau in a highly unusual architectural ensemble. The wines are aged with the greatest of care and Phelan Segur is famous for its elegance finesse and balance. Belonging to the family-owned Gardinier group specialised in luxury hotels and restaurants Chateau Phelan Segur has raised the art of hospitality to new heights.
