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.
