Médaille d'Or

Concours Bordeaux

Sénilhac 's clay-limestone terroir harbors a large water reserve in the subsoil. Even in dry years, this gives the wines the necessary sap, roundness and suppleness. A delicately fruity and woody wine, with a supple attack, a fine, elegant structure and a tight, racy frame. A Haut-Médoc great!
