The 2021 Sénéjac has a light red berry and briar nose, retaining that element of blood orange that imparts a little complexity. It does need more vigor. The palate is better, with fine tannins and fresh acidity, quite vibrant with red cherries and redcurr

Arômes délicats, joli fruit et minéralité, la bouche est raffinée, joli toucher de bouche, tannins satinés et finale fraîche. Tout en harmonie. Du style.

Medium-bodied, fresh, forward and fruity, with a light, red berry palate presence along with an earthy, savory touch in the red berry finish that will be best enjoyed in its youth. Drink from 2023-2031. 87-89

The 2021 Sénéjac was picked from September 24 to October 7 at 29hL/ha and raised in 30% new oak. The perfumed nose features potpourri-tinged red fruit, red cherries and blood orange, nicely focused but not intense. The palate is medium-bodied and fresh, with grainy tannins, modest depth and just a slight attenuation toward the finish. Enjoy over the next 12–15 years. (12.8% alcohol)

Purpurrot. Kirschige Nase, leicht stechend. Im Gaumen saftig, merklich Tannin, knackige Fucht, etwas rustikal, jedoch mit guter Frische. (Verkostet im April 2022. Dourthe)

Avec une première approche légèrement terrienne et racinaire, Sénéjac 2021 propose des notes de fusain, de bourgeon de cassis, de fumée et une pointe d'épices. Juteuse, bien en place, la bouche laisse ressortir la légère austérité médocaine du millésime et se resserre un peu en finale.

This 37-hectare estate in the southern Médoc (not far from the likes of La Lagune and Cantemerle) has delivered a fine effort in the form of the 2021 Sénéjac. Offering up aromas of cassis, spices, pipe tobacco and loamy soil, it's medium-bodied, ample and fleshy, with the supple tannins and charming, open personality that's typical of wines from this sector. Château Talbot's Jean-Michel Laporte is the winemaker.
