Description

Château Sénéjac is one of the better known Crus Bourgeois of the Haut-Médoc, located near to the vineyards of Margaux, just outside Parempuyre in the far south of the Haut-Médoc region. Sénéjac is a historic estate of 150 hectares, of which only 38 are under vine, and even in the middle of the 19th century produced 100,000 bottles, not far short of its modern-day total. Its reputation for making high-quality wine blossomed in the 1980s and then in 1999, it entered a new era when it was bought by Lorraine Cordier, whose family also owned the famous St Julien property, Chateau Talbot. The 150-hectare vineyard of Chateau of Senejac is planted to 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot. The vineyard is located to the far southern end of the Haut Medoc appellation in the commune of Le Pian Medoc. The Left Bank vineyard is in one large block of vines. The terroir is mostly gravel soils. It is matured in oak barriques (25% new) for 18 months. The wines of Château Sénéjac offer splendid value and relatively early appeal as well as after one decade.

Description

Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot
Colour: Deep red colour.
Aroma: Aromas of wild berries, macerated black cherries, leather, earth, cacao and mineral notes.
Taste: Full-bodied, with a vibrant, concentrated and dense tannic structure, yet elegant at the same time. The aromas carry through to the palate, where they combine with spicy balsamic notes, and inky black fruit, cassis, cedar, and sweet baking spices. The whole wine is brilliantly delineated by bright natural acidity.
Serving temperature: 16-18°C with minimum 1 hour decanting before serving.
