2022 Château Sénéjac Haut-Médoc
£19.50
“Vibrant, scented and delineated, showing expressive blue fruit, hibiscus, cassis, minerals and spices. The medium- to full-bodied palate is evenly packed with fresh and fine tannins. Graceful, velvety yet al dente. Spot-on balance with a lengthy but tightly wound finish. Already attractive, but wait three years if you want a more complete Bordeaux.”
94 Points, James Suckling
“The 2022 Sénéjac has turned out very well and looks to be the best wine this estate has produced since 2009. Offering up aromas of sweet minty cassis, petals and pencil shavings, it’s medium-bodied, velvety and seamless, with a fresh core of fruit and a flavorful finish.”
92 Points, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
“The 2022 Senejac captures all the best the year had to offer. Ripe and fleshy yet also quite vibrant, the 2022 impresses with its balance. Blue/purplish fruit, lavender, licorice, spice, menthol and mocha fill out the layers as the wine builds into a long, beautifully sustained finish.”
92 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous

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 in the Médoc.
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.
