2018 Château Sénéjac, Haut-Médoc
£23.00
“Blackcurrant, blackberry, herbal and earthy undertones. It’s full-bodied with chewy tannins and structure. Savory and layered on the palate. Rich finish.”
93 Points, James Suckling
“Deepest crimson. Dark fruit and crushed rocks. Pure cassis intensity. Quite strict on the palate, the tannins upright and clean-cut giving a restraint that some wines lack in this vintage. Spicy, rounded on the finish. Harmonious and should be approachable early.”
16/20 Julia Harding MW for Jancis Robinson MW

Product Description
In the 16th Century Nicolas de Bloys established the Chateau and was the first known owner to plant vines on the estate. By the mid-19th century, the Sénéjac vineyard was producing the equivalent of 100,000 bottles per year. Several owners succeeded one another at the head of the vineyard until in 1999, when Charles de Guigné sold Château Sénéjac to Lorraine Cordier. A new impetus was given to the vineyard to raise it to the level of the best Médoc vintages.
The wines of Château Sénéjac – Haut-Médoc are characterised by a deep, almost black colour in their young years. The very expressive nose exudes scents of black fruits and spices.On the palate, Sénéjac has a lot of breadth and intensity while remaining smooth and balanced thanks to the finesse of its tannins.
The wines of Sénéjac are charming and elegant, to be drunk young for their fullness and fruit or better still to be left to age gently to rediscover the race of their terroir.
