Château Phelan Segur

The story of Château Phélan Ségur began at the end of the 18th century, when Irish-born Bernard Phelan, a Bordeaux wine broker, acquired the Clos de Garamey (1805) and later the Ségur de Cabanac estate (1810), uniting them into what is now one of the most admired properties of Saint-Estèphe.

Located on the Left Bank of Bordeaux, the estate boasts 70 hectares of gravel and clay soils, planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. The wines of Phélan Ségur are known for their power, depth, and structure, while also delivering elegance and balance — hallmarks of the Saint-Estèphe appellation.

In the modern era, the château was revitalized under the Gardinier family (1985–2017) before passing to Belgian businessman Philippe Van de Vyvere, who continues to invest in both the vineyard and the cellar, elevating the estate’s reputation further among Bordeaux enthusiasts.

Praised for producing wines with generous fruit, fine tannins, and ageing potential, Phélan Ségur represents an exceptional value among the Médoc’s top châteaux, admired by critics and collectors alike.
