Médaille d'Or

Concours Bordeaux

Sénilhac benefits from a clay-limestone terroir that harbors a significant underground water reserve. This endows the wines—even in dry years—with the vitality, roundness, and suppleness they need. A delicately fruity and oaky wine, with a supple attack, a fine and elegant structure, and a tight, refined framework. A great wine from the Haut-Médoc!
