The 2022 Château Sénéjac is a beautifully balanced Haut-Médoc from one of the Left Bank’s most consistently reliable estates. Owned by the Bignon-Cordier family and benefiting from the expertise of the team behind Château Talbot, Sénéjac has earned a reputation for producing classic Bordeaux that combines structure, elegance and outstanding value. The excellent 2019 vintage has delivered a wine with impressive concentration and freshness, showcasing the estate’s gravel-rich terroir.
The nose reveals blackcurrant, blackberry and dark plum aromas layered with cedar, graphite and subtle spice. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with vibrant dark fruit supported by fine-grained tannins and refreshing acidity. Notes of tobacco, cocoa and crushed stone add complexity, while the finish is long, polished and beautifully balanced.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A classic Left Bank Bordeaux that offers exceptional value and pedigree. Its combination of ripe fruit, structure and savoury complexity makes it an excellent match for roast lamb, ribeye steak, beef bourguignon and aged hard cheeses. Enjoy now with a short decant or cellar through 2040 as it develops greater depth, elegance and tertiary character.
