Frank Phélan, the second wine of Château Phelan-Ségur was first made in 1986. It bears the name of estate founder Bernard Phelan's son. Frank Phelan was a man of character, mayor of Saint-Estèphe 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.

Complex bouquet, roasted coffee, licorice, nutmeg, tobacco, red fruits and a well-constructed palate, round and frank in the attack, supported by a good tannic structure.
