Chateau Senejac 2021

An aromatic and delicate Haut-Medoc wine

The estate

The first vines of Chateau Senejac were planted in the 16th century. This estate has belonged to the Bignon-Cordier family since 1999 and represents a very important reference in the Haut-Medoc appellation.

The vineyard

A luxuriant setting for biodiversity, Chateau Senejac produces Haut-Medoc wines that stem from a 38.5-hectare vineyard. The vines are 35 years old on average and 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.

Vinification and aging

Manual and mechanical harvesting, along with successive sorting. Vinification in stainless steel vats. The wine is aged for 15 months in barrels, 30% of which are new.

The blend

Chateau Senejac 2021 comprises a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (62%), Merlot (27%), Petit Verdot (6%) and Cabernet Franc (5%).
