Yves Beck 94 points: "75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot Auch wenn die Reifungsnuancen deutlich wahrnehmbar sind, werden sie ihrer Rolle als Aromaträger gerecht, indem sie die Komplexität vorantreiben! So offenbart das Bouquet Nuancen von schwarzem Pfeffer, roten Beeren und Süßholz, während sich mit zunehmender Luft Nuancen von Graphit abzeichnen. Am Gaumen ist der Wein seidig im Auftakt, was ihn jedoch nicht daran hindert, kraftvoll und kompakt zu sein. Die Tannine bilden das Rückgrat und verleihen Breite, während die Säure die energetische Seite bestimmt. Der Wein hat noch viel Zeit vor sich, auch wenn er in seiner Jugend zugänglich ist. Ein einladender, angenehmer, kraftvoller und charmanter Phélan Ségur." Drinking Window 2026 - 2046, Reviewed on 06.12.23 by Yves Beck

James Suckling 94 points: "Very refined with a mineral and chili chocolate twist to the fine spices and cassis with a touch of iron and pencil shavings. The juicy, medium- to full-bodied palate shows symmetry of chalky tannins and fruit concentration. More refined, layered and long than it is compact or broad. Still, the finesse and minerality are evident. Drink now or hold." , Reviewed on 29.12.23 by James Suckling

Decanter 94 points: "One of the absolute standouts for me this year. A dark and brooding nose with purity and concentration. The palate is finely textured with mineral-laced tannins that give grip in the mouth but letting the nuances of fruit and acidity play out in harmony. I love the intensity, it's rich but perfectly executed - elegant and finessed with balance and charm but above all a sense of energy and freshness that makes it one of the more memorable wines. Despite the challenges of the vintage, the fruit is ripe and dense and this gives no drop in the mid palate, sustaining pace and directness from start to finish. This is the first time to have such high percentages of both Cabernet Sauvignon (75%) and Petit Verdot (4%) in the blend. A gorgeous wine that has such promise. A surefire must buy and what should be great value too. Tasted twice and both times this was delicious with exceptional freshness and longevity."

James Suckling 93-94 points: "Plenty of cabernet character with currant and blackberry and some fresh-herb undertones. Medium body. Fine, firm tannins. Refined and together. Oyster shell and hints of spices such as cloves and white pepper. Tapenade. Typical for the appellation. 75% cabernet sauvignon, 4% petit verdot and 21% merlot." , Reviewed on 09.05.22 by James Suckling

The Wine Cellar Insider 93 points: "Black raspberries, chocolate, dried roses, spice and sweet black cherry aromatics bland together in the perfume. The palate is even better with all of its soft, sweet, fresh, polished, lively red fruits, spices, and dash of salty cocoa that pops in at the end of the finish. This should be quite enjoyable shortly after release. The wine blends 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot and 4% Petit Verdot, which is the highest percentage of Cabernet used in Phelan Segur. Drink from 2025-2040." , Reviewed on 09.03.24 by The Wine Cellar Insider

Vinous Neal Martin 92-94 points: "The 2021 Phélan Ségur has an attractive bouquet of blackberry, raspberry and dried rose petal scents, quite fragrant and appealing even at this early stage. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, fine tannins, well-judged acidity and quite a tensile finish. This is very promising, though it will need four to five years in bottle. It might represent one of the best values for money… depending on the release price, of course." Drinking Window 2027 - 2050, Reviewed on 12.05.22 by Neal Martin

Decanter 93 points: "Fragranced roses, raspberry and vanilla nose. Smooth and supple, a nice juicy core. Clean and clear, good use of oak and extraction. A pleasant and really enjoyable glass of wine with bright red fruits, fine silky tannins and a long mineral finish. Becomes a bit more serious on the second taste, the tannin mass amplifying in the mouth, growing in structure. This is a good example and wil age too. Has some density and character."

Jeb Dunnuck 91-93+ points: "Tasted on numerous occasions, the 2021 Château Phélan Ségur (75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot and 4% Petit Verdot) makes the most of this challenging vintage and offers terrific purity in its cassis fruit as well toasted spice and violet notes. It has some background oak, medium-bodied richness, good mid-palate density, and outstanding length." , Reviewed on 02.06.22 by Jeb Dunnuck

The Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 92-93 points: "Unfurling in the glass with aromas of dark berries, plums and cherries mingled with notions of rose petals, pipe tobacco, sweet spices and loamy soil, the 2021 Phélan Ségur is medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with impressive depth at the core, ripe tannins and lively acids, concluding with a long, saline finish. Concentrated and well-constructed, this is a serious wine with a bright future ahead of it. It's a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot and 4% Petit Verdot. Tasted five times, twice at the estate." , Reviewed on 29.04.22 by William Kelley
