Located in the village of Saint-Estèphe, Château Phélan Ségur has proudly overlooked the Gironde estuary since the early 19th century. Its history is intimately linked with that of the Médoc. Founded by Irishman Bernard Phélan when he united Clos de Garramey and Domaine Ségur de Cabanac, the estate was developed by his son, Frank, and renamed Phélan Ségur in the early 20th century. An Irish origin, four families and more than two centuries of passion, respect for the land and innovation at the service of a great name. After more than thirty years at the head of the estate, the Gardinier family handed over the reins of the estate to Philippe Van de Vyvere. This wine lover is fulfilling one of his most cherished dreams by taking over this prestigious vintage.
