Frank Phélan Saint Estèphe Château Phélan Ségur 1989
Frank Phélan er andenvinen fra Château Phélan Ségur, et anerkendt vinhus beliggende i Saint-Estèphe i Bordeaux. Slottet blev grundlagt i 1805 af den irske købmand Bernard Phelan, og andenvinen, som har eksisteret siden 1986, er opkaldt efter hans søn, Frank Phelan, der levede fra 1820 til 1883. Denne rødvin fra 1989 er aftappet på slottet og bærer klassifikationen Appellation St-Estèphe Contrôlée.
Saint-Estèphe er den nordligste af de berømte kommuneappellationer i Médoc. Jordbunden her er kendetegnet ved et højere indhold af ler og kalksten end i naboområderne, hvilket bidrager til vinenes faste struktur og dybde. I dette område spiller Cabernet Sauvignon en central rolle i vinmarkerne, suppleret af Merlot. Årgang 1989 fra denne region er beskrevet som fyldig og koncentreret og har opnået en score på 96 point.
Château Phélan Ségur regnes bredt for at være et af de absolut bedste slotte i Saint-Estèphe uden for 1855-klassifikationen, og det har i nyere tid opnået status som Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel. Fra 1985 til 2017 var ejendommen ejet af Gardinier-familien, som løftede niveauet markant, inden slottet blev solgt til den belgiske forretningsmand Philippe Van de Vyvere. Ejendommen omfatter i alt 114 hektar, hvoraf de 70 hektar er udlagt til vinmarker.

Bordeaux
Bordeaux on the Atlantic is the world's most famous wine region and has been exporting wine since the Middle Ages. The legendary 1855 classification still ranks the area's leading châteaux. On the left bank of the Gironde, Cabernet Sauvignon dominates on gravel soils, while the right bank is the domain of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The region is known for elegant, age-worthy blends of great finesse.
