Spec sheet
The wine
Château Sénéjac is one of the best-known Crus Bourgeois of the Haut-Médoc appellation, owned by the Cordier family and with wine-making under the supervision of Alfred Tesseron and the Pontet-Canet team. A Bordeaux with a rich expression of fruits and floral notes, and a pleasant finish that’s slightly earthy.
What does this wine taste like?
Its aromas combine wild fruit, bay leaves expressing the grapes' typicity, and fine toasted hints from its time in oak. Elegant tannins have a finely-grained feel on the tongue, like cocoa powder. The acidity of plums and strawberries join seductive notes of liquorice and tobacco in a wonderfully created wine with a promising future.
