CHÂTEAU SÉNÉJAC
2014 Cru Bourgeois Supérieur Haut Médoc
| Colour | Red |
| Origin | France, Bordeaux |
| Sub-district | Haut Médoc |
| Classification | Cru Bourgeois Supérieur |
| ABV | 13.5% |
55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, 33% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot. Tasted twice, this showed really well. Lovely bright red, curranty fruit on the nose - nicely perfumed, palate is slightly more full, more polished and weighty - but saved from being too much by a super hit of herbaceous leafiness, keeping it charming but not overly supple. Good. Rating: 90 L&S (Apr 2015)

Senejac is in the Haut-Médoc between Margaux and Bordeaux, and is one of the best-known châteaux for value at a lower price. This is very young so either put it away for 2023 or decant it.Victoria Moore, The Daily Telegraph (Nov 2017)
The 2014 Senejac is a very pretty, if somewhat understated, wine. Sweet floral notes, bright red stone fruit, mint and licorice are nicely delineated. The 2014 is a touch slender, but it offers solid balance. Drink this pleasing midweight Haut-Médoc over the next few years. Drinking range: 2017 - 2020 Rating: 87 Antonio Galloni, www.vinous.com (Feb 2017)
Savory herbs, tobacco, smoke, licorice and lavender are some of the notes that emerge from the 2014 Senejac. There is good energy in the glass, but the style is distinctly mid-weight and also a touch compact. Even so, this is a lovely wine for what is likely to be a very reasonable tariff.

Château Sénéjac
So far south in the Haut-Médoc that it exists in splendid isolation, without vineyard neighbours, in the tiny settlement of Le Pian Médoc, is Château Sénéjac. The usual Bordelais long complicated history is crowned by the purchase of Sénéjac in 1999 by Lorraine Cordier, owner of Château Talbot. Since Lorraine’s death, Sénéjac has been managed by her sister Nancy Bignon Cordier with operations overseen by Alfred Tesseron and his team from Château Pontet Canet. There are 39ha of vineyard, in a single block, planted with 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot, with an average age of 35 years. The wines of Château Sénéjac offer splendid value and relatively early appeal.
