Château Sénéjac

Château Sénéjac is a former barony whose first known owner was, in the 16th century, the squire Nicolas de Bloys, who married Jeanne de Fleix, lady of Blanquefort. Vines were no doubt planted there from that time. In the 17th century, a great hunter, Marshal d’Ornano, governor of Guyenne, took possession of the estate. In the middle of the 19th century, Sénéjac was bought by the Comte de Guigné, whose family remained owners until 1999, when Charles sold the property to Mme Lorraine Cordier, who also owns, with her sister, the famous Château Talbot, Grand Cru Classé of Saint-Julien.
From then on, everything was done, both in the vineyard and in the cellars, not only to restore Sénéjac to its rightful place, but to raise it to the level of the greatest Médoc crus.
The terroir of gravel rises, dating from the Pliocene in the west and the Günz in the east, makes it possible to produce wines of great finesse and elegance, both concentrated and long-lived.
The vines, in a single block, are maintained in a traditional way, and the vat room has all the technical advances available to date (temperature control, reverse osmosis, etc.).
The wine is then carefully aged, in an air-conditioned cellar, for 12 to 15 months with 30% new oak for the first wine.
The second wine is distributed under the names Artigues de Sénéjac and Comte de Sénéjac.
Following the death of Lorraine Cordier, it is now her sister Nancy Bignon-Cordier and her family who are at the head of the estate.
