"It's a beautiful, concentrated, elegant 2023 with tons to love"
levert elk jaar veel wijn voor uw geld.
De wijn is echt typisch Saint-Estèphe. Hij is intens ("the Cabernet Sauvignon really screams with intensity here" - Vinous) en expressief in de neus met een overvloed aan donkere fruitaroma's, verweven met aardse tonen en een goede geintregeerde houttonen (toast) die zorgen voor een rustieke toets. In de mond toont de wijn zich rijp en rijk, met een aanhoudende smaakbeleving, indrukwekkende tannines en een stevige structuur die uitmondt in een volle, royale afdronk. Dit is echt een wijn is van uitzonderlijke kwaliteit.
De vorige vintage 2022 was legendarisch en onze allocatie was binnen de kortste keren vergeven. James Suckling riep namelijk: "Best ever?" Het is prachtig om te zien dat hij zich nu al af vraagt of vintage 2023 misschien niet beter is: "Let’s see which is better in the end, 2022 or 2023".

The polish and intensity of this wine is beautiful for the vintage, with blackcurrant, lead pencil and light chocolate character. It’s medium- to full-bodied with well-integrated fruit and tannins, and a long finish. Velvet texture. Excellent potential. Fermented from selected yeast from the various parcels. 58% cabernet sauvignon, 39% merlot, 1.5% petit verdot, and 1.5% cabernet franc. Let’s see which is better in the end, 2022 or 2023.

An excellent Phélan. Darkly fragrant, herbal and softly floral with blackcurrant, red cherry and coffee bean accents. Smooth and supple, gorgeous approachability in the juiciness and sense of life. So easy to enjoy this, cool and classic scents of blue fruits and crisp red fruit. Layered, clean and finessed. Svelte, not much muscle but there’s underlying power in the long finish with hints of mint. Extremely balanced and juicy, with a touch of sweetness and freshness and then the cleaning minerality comes through giving a powdery soft ending with elements of wet stone and graphite. Very St-Estephe and very successful. 52hl/ha yield. 60% grand vin, 40% second wine. Two thirds of the wine is vinified with with indigenous yeasts to give more terroir identity. Longest harvest ever at the estate, beginning on September 18 until October 11. 1.5% Petit Verdot completes the blend.

The 2023 Phélan Ségur is a powerful, brooding wine. Black cherry, plum, gravel, incense, licorice, dried herbs, lavender and mocha infuse the 2023 with striking complexity. Persistent saline notes lend energy, dimension and shape. The Cabernet Sauvignon really screams with intensity here. Tasted two times.

The Grand Vin 2023 Château Phelan Ségur checks in as 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, and 2% Petit Verdot. It too is deep ruby purple-hued and offers a brilliant nose of pure cassis, sappy tobacco, flowers, and hints of leather. It's medium to full-bodied, brings good mid-palate concentration, and has integrated tannins and acidity, as well as outstanding length. It's a beautiful, concentrated, elegant 2023 with tons to love. Tasted multiple times, with one sample rating 95, but I'm being conservative with the rating. This has terrific potential.
