This is an En Primeur wine and special conditions apply.

Specification

Producer

Château Phelan Sugur

This 66ha property is a consistent producer of classic St. Estèphe – solid, structured and long-lived. It is situated very close to both Château Montrose and Château Calon-Ségur, so in rather good company! Purchased by Xavier Gardinier in 1985 it is now run by his sons, Thierry and Laurent.

Tasting Notes

There is a lovely overt ripeness on the nose with a whiff of pencil shaving. Rich and creamy in texture there is also a wonderful refined freshness as well as perfectly poised and polished tannins. The finish is long with a delicious lingering note of black fruits.

Vinification

Harvested 10th - 25th September with a yield of 29 hl/ha. Vinified using indigenous yeasts with only very soft extraction and short maceration, the final blend includes 10% vin de presse. Will be aged in 55% new oak.
