About this wine

This Frank Phélan 2019 is the perfect introduction to the prestigious wines of St-Estèphe, crafted by the renowned Château Phélan Ségur. It's an excellent choice if you're looking to discover what makes Bordeaux's Left Bank so special, without breaking the bank.

In the glass, you'll find a beautiful blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot with a touch of Petit Verdot, delivering ripe blackcurrant and dark cherry flavors wrapped in smooth tannins. The wine shows lovely depth with hints of cedar and graphite, typical of St-Estèphe's gravelly terroir, while maintaining an approachable elegance that makes it enjoyable now. The finish is clean and persistent, with just the right amount of structure.

This wine pairs wonderfully with roasted lamb, grilled ribeye steak, or a hearty beef bourguignon. Decant it for about an hour before serving to let it breathe, and serve at around 17°C to bring out all its complexity. It's also a great companion for aged hard cheeses like Comté or mature cheddar.
