Chateau Phelan Segur, Saint-Estephe, France 2016 Chateau Coufran The NV Brut Rose Premier

The NV Brut Rose Premier Cru offers an enticing floral life to its notes of mint

crystalline and complex bouquet with lovely ripe and intense fruit aromas and more flinty-mineral notes than the regular Spätlese

and deep flavors of chocolate back up the huge structure

so difficult to assess

It moves on to become more profound thanks to the Cabernet in this great vintage

Chateau Phelan Segur, Saint-Estephe, France 2016 Chateau Coufran The NV Brut Rose PremierA very serious St. Estphe with excellent concentration, firm tannins and a dark soul. I love the earth, walnut, bark and smoke aromas that pour out of this. 95 Pts James Suckling
