Editor's Pick Château Phélan Ségur, Saint-estèphe 2023 En Primeur - Case Of 6 - Don't Overpay [qM9KW30U]

Véronique Dausse, general manager, is extremely capable. Not only is she overseeing a big improvement in quality here, her marketing skills mean that everyone knows about it too! Driving into the property takes you round the parkland with lake beyond, in the lee of the grand château itself. The place has presence, and the wine has it as well. Very representative of Saint-Estèphe, the plummy core washes over a tempered stony palate, ripe in the mouth yet mouthwateringly fresh on the finish. It is very true to the vintage, yet carefully made with some concentrated Cabernet giving what Véronique describes as, Breeding. The upward trend continues. 5-15 years.
