Chateau Senejac Haut-Medoc 2016 (375mL)
…...w….ww..wwww…..what….?
Sorry, just waking up from fainting. You guys KNOW we love you. Right? Well….THIS is nothing short of BREATHTAKING today. Lucky Break, indeed, my GOSH!! It is absolutely IMPERATIVE that you get thyself to our app or a computer or whatever and LOCK. THIS. DOWN. Now. There are too many reasons to write in a paragraph, so let us bust out some bullet points.
92-93 POINTS. $10. $10, as in, TEN. How many fingers you have.
91 Decanter, 89-91 Vinous, 90 Wine Advocate….this is a massive over-delivering Bordeaux half-bottle if we EVER have had one in 7+ years of Last Bottle!! C’mon!!!
Senejac is made by none other than the brilliant Alfred Tesseron, of Chateau Pontet Canet, with the same expertise and identical technical and vineyard team that makes Pontet Canet (that in itself should convince you).
2016. Such an astounding, world-class Bordeaux vintage. TRUTH.
Half-bottles. They fit in your pocket, kids. Purse. Backpack. Briefcase. They are PERFECT for 2 killer glasses of wine...that’s, uh, $5 a glass, by the way. Of a 92-93 pointer!!
We are the ONLY wine-slingers in the USA to even HAVE this wine!! We bought every bottle we could in Bordeaux earlier this year, tasting it from barrel. We KNEW is was going to get the love from the critics!
Did we mention TEN BUCKS???
Got some?? Good. This will go in a flash. Just hit the warehouse from Bordeaux!!!
Truly astounding for our price. We can’t get over it. Not when you TASTE it --- lordy, this sleek, palate-coatingly rich wine jumps out with blackberry preserves, crushed flowers, iron, dark bakers chocolate, espresso, and baking spice. Round and long and pretty complete for such a baby. WOW!!! $10!! It’s just…..phenomenal! Magnificent!!
How do we do it? We don’t even know sometimes...sorry to keep repeating ourselves...anyway, hope you got some!! Happy Holidays, indeed!!
Chateau Senejac
An ancient barony, Chateau Senejac's first known owner was
in the 16th century, a squire, Nicolas de Blois. The Chateau was undoubtedly
planted as a vineyard from this century. The owner of Grand Cru Classé from St.
Julien Chateau Talbot, Lorraine Cordier has given a new impetus to raise the
vineyard up to the best Médoc wines was given since she acquired it in 1999.
Chateau Senejac is a charming wine to drink young and is distinguished for its
fullness and fruit and expresses its terroir with slow aging.

About The Producer
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.
