Frank Phelan (St. Estephe) 2016 neljames-suckling they are destemmed and lightlyCreated in 1986, Frank Phlan, the second wine of the Chteau, bears the name of the son of Bernard Phlan, founder of the estate. Frank Phlan comes from 15 hectares of old vines and a selection of vines of less than ten years. It respects the classic values of the Chteau by expressing another facet of its terroir. Frank Phlan associates indulgent fruit, intense and compelling, with an elegant structure of silky tannins. It undergoes 14 months ageing.
