Chateau Senejac 2020

The refinement of a Haut-Medoc red wine by Senejac

The estate

It was back in the 16th century that the first vines of Chateau Senejac were planted. This area, acquired by the Bignon-Cordier family in 1999, represents a very important reference of Haut-Medoc.

The vineyard

In a truly green setting with plenty of biodiversity, the Chateau Senejac vineyard extends over 41 hectares of vines on an estate totaling 150 hectares. Vines aged 35 years on average are planted in Pyrenean gravel soils deposited during the Quaternary on a clay-gravelly outcropping of Pian-Medoc. These gravel soils provide effective soil drainage and help regulate the water stress suffered by the vine in the event of a lack of water.

The aging

Aging lasted 15 months in barrels, 30% of which were of new oak.

The blend

The Chateau Senejac 2020 is made from a blend of cabernet sauvignon (54%), merlot (34%), cabernet franc (6%), petit verdot (6%).
