Château Sénéjac Haut-Médoc 2019

Located in the far south of the Médoc, Château Sénéjac is owned by the Bignon-Cordier family, who also own Château Talbot; Nancy manages both estates. Sénéjac now practices sustainable viticulture.

An enticing nose rich with ripe fruit. Lovely freshness and appetizing flavors of cherry juice. The acidity is pronounced but harmonious and very well-balanced. It’s simply full of energy and vibrancy. It lacks complexity, but what it offers is excellent-quality fruit that has been expertly crafted. Best enjoyed sooner rather than later to savor a lovely, balanced, and vibrant wine. Bordeaux at its most approachable.

 

Château Sénéjac 2019 is incredibly crisp. It’s a wine that’s immediately approachable and embraces its “rowdy” side.

Aromas and flavors of blackcurrant, berries, and tobacco, with hints of thyme and coffee beans. Full-bodied, smooth, and refined. Needs time to mellow.

A full-bodied, open nose with aromas of dark fruit. The palate, with lovely structure, reveals subtle hints of ink before finishing with chocolate and mineral notes, as well as hints of forest floor.

A violet color with purple highlights. The bouquet is intense and marked by mineral notes such as flint and chalk. Fruit is abundantly present, with hints of red currants and raspberries. Delicious and fruity on the palate, with beautiful aromatic expression right from the first sip. Sénéjac is juicy, lively, and perfectly balanced, thanks to a fine harmony between its refined structure and the finesse of its tannins. The finish is fruity and lingering. This is a wine with a bright future that deserves to be cellared.

The nose is very subtly concentrated and offers good definition, a touch of power, a fine texture, and subtle intensity. It reveals notes of wild blackberry, wild strawberry, and, more subtly, gray pepper, combined with delicate hints of blond tobacco, almond, and raspberry, as well as touches of wild blackcurrant, pepper, and spices. On the palate, it is juicy, mineral, and fresh, offering roundness, a touch of richness, and a subtle tension. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of plump, juicy blackberry, juicy raspberry, and, to a lesser extent, blackcurrant, combined with hints of violet, lily, and a refined minerality that reflects the terroir, as well as hints of zan, nutmeg, and sweet spices. The tannins are well-integrated and very delicately firm. Good length and good persistence.

Roasted coffee, flowers, and currants are prominent on the nose and palate of this sweet, round, medium-bodied wine. The finish is lively and classic, with slightly softened tannins that come through in the juicy finish, featuring notes of blackcurrant and cranberry.
