Chateau Senejac Haut Medoc

It represents great value for fans of mature claret as it ages so gracefully. A great middleweight claret, offering a restrained nose of blackcurrant fruit tinged with hints of clove and cigar tobacco. The palate is nicely ripe, with a liquorice complexity and a smooth texture.

GRAPES: 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc

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 when they sold Chateau Senejac to Lorraine Cordier, the owner of Chateau Talbot in St. Julien and her husband Thierry Rustmann. Lorraine Cordier passed away in 2011. Today, Chateau Senejac is managed by the sister of Lorraine Cordier, Nancy Bignon Cordier.
