The Château Phélan Ségur 2016 from Saint-Estèphe in the Médoc region of Bordeaux is a notable red wine that often combines classic Bordeaux varietals like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, although the specific blend is not detailed here. The 2016 vintage is celebrated for its structured and balanced profile, benefiting from favourable weather conditions that resulted in wines of excellent concentration and ageing potential. Saint-Estèphe's terroir, characterised by gravelly soils and proximity to the Gironde estuary, contributes to the wine’s robust tannic structure and depth of flavour. Château Phélan Ségur, with its rich history and esteemed reputation, is renowned for producing wines that reflect the quintessential Saint-Estèphe style, combining elegance with power.
For pairing, this full-bodied wine with its robust tannins and rich flavour profile would excellently accompany hearty dishes such as roast lamb, beef Wellington, or duck confit. Its earthy notes and depth harmonize beautifully with mushroom-based dishes and truffle-infused cuisine. Regional Bordeaux specialties, like entrecôte à la bordelaise, would also make a superb match, highlighting the wine’s complexity and depth.
When it comes to enjoying this wine, it should be served at a temperature of about 16-18°C (60-64°F) to allow its flavours to be fully appreciated. Decanting for at least an hour before serving helps in aerating the wine, softening its tannins and allowing the aromas to open up. In tasting, start by observing its deep garnet colour, followed by inhaling the complex bouquet of dark fruits, cedar, and hints of spice. Finally, take a sip to savour the harmonious balance of fruit, tannin, and acidity, making this wine a memorable experience.
