Producer Information

Chteau Phlan Sgur is a wine estate in the Saint-Estphe region of the Mdoc, northern Bordeaux. The grand vin is typically composed of 50 to 65 percent Cabernet Sauvignon with the remainder made up from Merlot. It is regarded as one of the better estates omitted from the 1855 Bordeaux Classification. It belongs to the Union des Grand Crus de Bordeaux, and is classified in the Place de Bordeaux in the category of “Grand Crus Classs et assimils (and equivalents)”. It was rated as Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel in 2003, but has not been part of that ranking since 2007.
Location and vineyards;
The estate lies just south of Saint-Estphe village. Chteau Calon Sgur lies a short way north, towards the northern edge of the Saint-Estphe appellation, while beyond Chteau Meyney, to the south, is the second growth Chteau Montrose. In total, Phlan Sgur comprises 70 hectares (173 acres) of vines on the hillocks and plateaux of Saint-Estphe, before the land drops away to the Canal de Calon waterway just beyond Calon Sgur. Phlan Sgur’s vineyards are divided into in four sections on clay and gravel soils, and are planted to about 58 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 39 percent Merlot and 1.5 percent each of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.
