Château Sénéjac 2022
Description
Bien que Château Sénéjac ait été réputé pendant un certain temps pour ses vins blancs, il ne produit désormais que des vins rouges. Ce grand vin de la famille Bignon-Cordier est un coupage de cabernet sauvignon et franc, de merlot et de petit verdot , dans le plus pur style Haut-Médoc. Ses arômes de cerise et de pivoine, sa texture veloutée, ses tanins souples et sa finale persistante font de ce millésime le meilleur de cette maison « de la dernière décennie (voire des deux dernières) », selon le critique de The Wine Advocate, William Kelley

L'avis des experts
Vibrant, scented and delineated, showing expressive blue fruit, hibiscus, cassis, minerals and spices. The medium- to full-bodied palate is evenly packed with fresh and fine tannins. Graceful, velvety yet al dente. Spot-on balance with a lengthy but tightly wound finish. Already attractive, but wait three years if you want a more complete Bordeaux. This has the potential to develop for at least another eight to ten years.
Clean and mineral, this is quite serious with a dark, and rich layer of black fruits with liquorice, flint and graphite. I like the sleek cool suaveness of it, it's not shouting but is really well worked. More of a serious, less acidic style, but still vibrant and supple, well balanced and well presented. Round, softly juicy with bite. Harvest 12-29 September. Yield of 32hl/ha. Ageing in French oak for 15 months, 30% new. 6% Petit Verdot completes the blend.
The 2022 Sénéjac has turned out very well and looks to be the best wine this estate has produced since 2009. Offering up aromas of sweet minty cassis, petals and pencil shavings, it's medium-bodied, velvety and seamless, with a fresh core of fruit and a flavorful finish.
