Château Phélan Ségur (St. Estèphe)
Ruby with lightening at the edges, earth, strawberry jam and cassis in nose, medium bodied with a touch of green in the cherry filled finish. This is probably close to fully mature. I’d opt for dinking over the in the moderate future to maintain the freshness and fruit. 3,042 Views Tasted May 7, 2012 |
When to Drink Chateau Phelan Segur, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Chateau Phelan Segur can be enjoyed early. However, the wine is often better with at least a few years of bottle age. Of course, that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage.
Chateau Phelan Segur is usually best enjoyed in the first 10-20 after the vintage. Young vintages can be decanted for 1-2 hours. This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume. Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment.
Serving Chateau Phelan Segur with the Best Wine, Food, Pairing Tips
Chateau Phelan Segur is best served at 15.5 degrees Celsius, 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The cool, almost cellar temperature gives the wine more freshness and lift.
Chateau Phelan Segur is best served with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised, stewed, and grilled dishes. Chateau Phelan Segur also makes a good match with several different Asian courses.
