Château Sénéjac 2022
Descripción
Aunque durante un tiempo Château Sénéjac fue conocido por elaborar vinos blancos, ahora sólo elabora tintos. Este grande vin de la familia Bignon-Cordier es un coupage de Cabernet sauvignon y franc, Merlot y Petit verdot al más refinado estilo Haut-Médoc. Sus aromas a cereza y a peonías, textura aterciopelada, taninos suaves y final persistente convierten a esta añada en la mejor salida de esta casa "en la última década (o en las dos últimas)", según el crítico de The Wine Advocate, William Kelley.

Opinión de los críticos
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.

Excelente, fino, elegante y redondo, con cada una de sus variedades expresadas con total equilibrio. Dará todo lo que tiene en 2 o 3 años.
