Château Phélan Ségur was founded in the early 19th century by Bernard Phelan, an Irish merchant based in Bordeaux. The estate takes its name in part from its owner, who acquired Clos de Garamey in Saint-Estèphe in 1805, and in part from the acquisition in 1810 of Domaine Ségur de Cabanac, which completed the winegrowing estate.
In 1985, Xavier Gardinier took over Château PhélanSégur with the help of his three sons. After more than 30 years working on the estate, the Gardinier family handed over the reins to Philippe Van de Vyvere following an acquisition in January 2018.
