{"product_id":"chateau-phelan-segur-1971","title":"Château Phelan Segur Saint-Estephe 1971 AOC 0,75l","description":"\u003cp\u003eBernard Phelan came to Bordeaux from Ireland in 1805, married into the wine trade and bought the land at Saint-Estèphe that still carries his name. The Delon family owned the property through the 1970s, well before the thorough renovation Xavier Gardinier began in 1985, so this is the older and quieter Phélan Ségur.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSaint-Estèphe is the northernmost of the Médoc communes, with more clay in its soils than Pauillac and a reputation for firm, slow-opening wines. Phélan sits on the riverside slope alongside Calon-Ségur and Montrose, and even in its unfashionable decades it made proper claret in that mould: dark, dry-edged, built for the cellar rather than for showing off young.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1971 was a modest-sized harvest of good quality, overshadowed at the time by the enormous 1970 and now considerably harder to find than it. As a gift this is an unshowy bottle, and it is better for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Château Phélan Ségur\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1971\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppellation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Saint-Estèphe AOC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75cl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bordeaux, France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere it is likely to be now.\u003c\/strong\u003e Saint-Estèphe's firmness helps at this age, but a cru bourgeois from 1971 will be fully mature and light, and should be opened without any expectation of power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho it suits.\u003c\/strong\u003e Well suited to a fifty-fifth birthday for someone who likes an understated gift, and to anyone with Irish connections given who founded the estate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition.\u003c\/strong\u003e Recorded as good, with no issue flagged on the label, the capsule or the wine level.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProvenance.\u003c\/strong\u003e Bought to order from a professional European merchant.
