Artigues de Sénéjac: A Sophisticated Claret from Haut-Médoc

Artigues de Sénéjac is the distinguished second wine of Château Sénéjac, offering a superb introduction to the quality of the Haut-Médoc appellation. Sourced from younger vines and selected parcels across the estate, it is made with the same meticulous care as the main Château Sénéjac, providing a classic Left Bank Claret experience at a highly attractive price point.

Tasting Notes & Winemaking

A traditional Bordeaux blend, this wine expertly marries the powerful structure of Cabernet Sauvignon with the softer, plummier character of Merlot. Time in oak barrels ensures the wine is well-integrated and elegantly structured.

• Appearance: A deep, vibrant garnet red.
• Bouquet: The nose is inviting and nuanced, offering an array of red and black fruit aromas (cassis, raspberry) with savoury hints of spice, cedar, and liquorice.
• Taste: Generous and smooth on the palate. It possesses a well-defined structure with fine, polished tannins, resulting in an elegant and rounded mouthfeel. The finish is long, clean, and satisfying.

Perfect Pairings & Decanting Advice

This is a wonderfully food-friendly wine, particularly suited to traditional British Sunday roasts and classic beef dishes. We suggest decanting for an hour before serving at a temperature of 17°C to 18°C (62-64°F) to allow its full potential to shine.
