The 2017 Sénéchaux Blanc is lively and full-bodied, with a lovely freshness provided by the Clairette. It offers aromatic finesse with floral and stone fruit notes. On the palate, it reveals a generous, full-bodied wine supported by a lovely liveliness from the Clairette. A true classic of the appellation. Delivered in a wooden case for all orders of 6 bottles of this wine (excluding Pickup Point delivery method)

Rated estate (2019 guide): 2 stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous vintage)

About the estate:

This historic estate, with its prime location and soils composed of pebbles, clay, and gravel, was taken over in 2006 by the Cazes family, owners of Lynch-Bages in Pauillac, among other properties. A single cuvée is produced in both white and red, and the most recent vintages are undeniably well-crafted, in a classic style that is gradually asserting its own character.
