Technical Details
Frank Phelan
Frank Phelan, the second wine of Chateau Phelan Segur was first made in 1986. It bears the name of estate founder Bernard Phelan's son. Frank Phelan was a man of character, mayor od Saint-Estephe for 30 years, and like him, this wine grows in its own terroir, maintaining its identity and specific quality, vintage after vintage.
This lasting quality is made up of carefully selected fruit from plots of old vines on the estate blended with grapes from vines that are still too young to be included in the batches that are used for the first wine.
Frank Phelan benefits from the same care and attention as Phelan Segur, in thhe vineyard, at harvest time and when it is actually made, the aim being to develop a powerful yet well-balanced wine. It's remarkable character is honoured by 12 months' ageing in casks
