Ancient 16th-century barony, the Sénéjac vineyard, which stretches across the plateau overlooking the commune of Pian, is owned by Nicolas de Bloys.
In 1999, Lorraine Cordier, also owner of Château Talbot - Grand Cru Classé de Saint-Julien, acquired Domaine and gave it new impetus, raising the vineyard to the level of the best Médoc crus. On his death, his sister Nancy Bignon-Cordier and her family took over the running of Domaine.
Artigues de Sénéjac is the Second wine of Château Sénéjac. A true showcase of Château, it is made from young vines as well as carefully selected parcels.
This wine presents itself to us in an attractive, brilliant ruby color. The nose is clean and complex. Notes of red fruits such as strawberry and raspberry mingle with freshness, as do black fruits. The toasty dimension of barrel ageing, which becomes apparent after aeration, is well blended and therefore quite discreet. On the palate, the attack is frank and suave, the body is full-bodied and the finish, on the fruit, is crisp. The tannins are velvety and the fruit aromas gourmand.
