Château Sénéjac has a beautiful red color with bright reflections. The nose is precise with notes of cherry. It continues with spicy notes revealing the expression of the Petit Verdot. The attack on the palate is fresh, balanced and smooth. The tannins are silky and distinctive. On the palate, the fruit is ripe and plump. The finish is long, precise with a beautiful aromatic intensity. It is an elegant, aromatic wine with a beautiful tannic finesse that will delight all Médoc amateurs.
TASTING NOTES:
This shows aromas of blackcurrants and black cherries with cocoa, pine cones, toasted spices and nut shell. Medium-bodied with round and polished tannins and a fine texture. Some delicious fruit character coming through turning to a chalky and crushed stone yet juicy finish.

Gentle coffee smoke on the nose and spiced waves of flavour that add interest and complexity. This is a good wine with gentle acidities and enough autumnal berry fruit to carry it off. Juicy on the finish, this is another successful vintage at Sénéjac.

Ample blackberry and dark cherry fruits as well as a sappy, floral core define the 2020 Château Sénéjac, a pretty, fresh, nicely focused red with class. It should be solid, if not outstanding.

Vinified by Château Talbot's Jean-Michel Laporte, the 2019 Sénéjac delivers aromas of smoky blackberries, pencil shavings and loamy soil, followed by a medium to full-bodied, lively and charming palate framed by fine tannins and concluding with a saline, mouthwatering finish. It's a fine effort that comes recommended. Best After 2021.
- Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 90 pts.
