Ch. Phelan-Segur, Grand Vin, Saint-Estephe, 2016 is a 75cl red wine from the Winebuyers brand. Located in the northern end of the Saint-Estephe commune, close to the Gironde River and directly east of the Saint-Estephe village, the Phelan Segur estate neighbours the Chateaux Calon Segur and Montrose. The estate was founded by Irishman Bernard O'Phelan, who combined the vineyards 'Clos de Garramey' and 'Segur' and, in the early 20th century, renamed the estate 'Phelan Segur'. Bernard's son, Frank Phelan, built the chateau in the late 1860s. The estate has 'Cru Bourgeois' status, a small classification used for chateaux which were not included in the 1855 classification but to acknowledge exceptional stewardship of land and consistently high quality of wine produced. Around 20,000 cases of wine are produced annually. The wine is made from 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot, and a small amount of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. The estate is now owned by Belgian investor, Philippe Van de Vyvere, who acquired it in 2018. This wine is suitable for both men and women.
