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.

A lovely vintage of Senejac, plummy dark fruits, luscious cocoa bean and espresso, edges of rosemary and sage, good stuff. Eric Boissenot consultant, Bignon-Cordier family owners.

The 2022 Senejac captures all the best the year had to offer. Ripe and fleshy yet also quite vibrant, the 2022 impresses with its balance. Blue/purplish fruit, lavender, licorice, spice, menthol and mocha fill out the layers as the wine builds into a long, beautifully sustained finish.

A property run by the Jean-Michel Laporte of Talbot, this is 47% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc and 6% Petit Verdot. This shows a sweet and polished sense of harmony on the nose, with threads of redcurrant, red cherry and liquorice, with some appealing floral nuances suggestive of peony. This hold together very well on the palate, with a seductively juicy core of savoury fruits, a fresh backbone of rich, tightly knit, dense tannins, and a little spicy oak. Fresh acidity with a sense of completeness and nice potential here, a feeling which runs through to the finish of powdery fruit, oak and tannin. This is delightful. The alcohol on the label is 14%.

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.
