Medium intensity colour, a ton of grip, juicy blackberry fruits, along with wild strawberries and pomegranate, sage and fennel;, very easy to drink, but with plenty of personality, this is a 2nd wine to look out for. No new oak for ageing. Philippe Van de Vyvere owner, Veronique Dausse director. 10% press wine. Score: 90 Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux Maturity: 2026-2036 Date: 02 May 2024 |

The 2023 Phélan Ségur is a powerful, brooding wine. Black cherry, plum, gravel, incense, licorice, dried herbs, lavender and mocha infuse the 2023 with striking complexity. Persistent saline notes lend energy, dimension and shape. The Cabernet Sauvignon really screams with intensity here. Tasted two times. Score: 92 - 94 Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com Maturity: 2028-2043 Date: 30 April 2024 |

The 2023 Phélan Ségur was picked September 18 to October 11 at 52hL/ha and matured in 55% new oak. This has a very pure bouquet. You can actually tell that there is less SO2 being employed here since it displays that strong crushed strawberry fruit, almost confit-like character, turning more floral with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-boned tannins. This is very well balanced, though not a Phélan Ségur laden with huge concentration (the analytical alcohol is a more restrained 13.54%). There is just a touch of balsamic that perks up the finish, while graphite notes join the chorus line toward the close. Quite an "involving" wine in the cards, this will be fascinating to revisit once in bottle. Score: 92 - 94 Neal Martin, Vinous.com Maturity: 2029-2045 Date: 29 April 2024 |

A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot, the 2023 Phélan Ségur offers up aromas of cassis, dark berries, licorice and toasty new oak, followed by a medium to full-bodied, deep and nicely concentrated palate with plenty of powdery structuring tannin and good length on the finish. It's a strong effort. Score: 91 - 93 William Kelley, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Date: 26 April 2024 |

The polish and intensity of this wine is beautiful for the vintage, with blackcurrant, lead pencil and light chocolate character. It’s medium- to full-bodied with well-integrated fruit and tannins, and a long finish. Velvet texture. Excellent potential. Fermented from selected yeast from the various parcels. 58% cabernet sauvignon, 39% merlot, 1.5% petit verdot, and 1.5% cabernet franc. Let’s see which is better in the end, 2022 or 2023.
