ABOUT THE PRODUCER:
Château Sénéjac is one of the most beautiful buildings in the whole region and has a long and fascinating history dating back more than five centuries. The first vines were planted by Nicolas de Blois, the first known owner of the estate in the sixteenth century. A number of nobles and gentry succeeded de Blois as head of the property, but it was not until Lorraine Cordier, the owner of Château Talbot, purchased the estate that new impetus was given to the vineyards. Cordier aimed to establish the estate as one of the best in the Médoc crus. Following her death in 2011, the property was taken over by her sister Nancy Bignon-Cordier and her three children. The vineyard is sustainably cultivated and holds the HVE certification.
ABOUT THE VINEYARD:
The vines have an average age of 35 years are grown in deep gravel soils. Yielding 45 hectolitres per hectare the vines are meticulously cultivated, with canopy thinning and green harvesting to encourage the optimal amount of sunlight and concentration in the berries. The grapes are harvested in several triages to ensure they are harvested at the optimal maturity level.
THE WINEMAKING PROCESS:
The grapes underwent a precise manual sorting to ensure only the healthy and perfect berries were vinified before being destemmed and crushed. Fermentation took place in temperature controlled stainless steel vats with regular pumping over to gently extract colour, flavour and fine tannins. The wine went through malolactic conversion, resulting in a softer mouthfeel followed by ageing in French oak barrels for eight to 10 months.
OUR TASTING NOTES:
A medium-bodied Bordeaux, in a smooth and approachable style with aromas of plums and strawberry, complemented by hints of liquorice. Beautifully balanced with silky tannins and roasted notes on the finish.
GRAPE VARIETY:
Merlot 56%, Cabernet Sauvignon 42%, Cabernet Franc 2%.
