Description

A seductive Châteauneuf-du-Pape red wine of richness and refinement

The property

With origins dating back to the 14th century, the Domaine des Sénéchaux is recognized as one of the oldest vineyards in Castro Novo, the land of the Pope's wines. An essential reference among the great wines of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the estate was acquired in 2006 by the Cazes family, also owners of the prestigious Château Lynch-Bages, Grand Cru Classé de Pauillac.

Domaine des Sénéchaux oversees a 27-hectare terroir located on the most noble lands of this iconic Rhône Valley appellation.

The vineyard

This Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2010 from Domaine des Sénéchaux comes from a mosaic of terroirs, composed according to the plots of clay, limestone, molassic sandstone, safre or even sand.

The vintage

Cold conditions during a winter marked by two snow episodes delay bud break and flowering, the significant shatter impacts yields, especially on grenache terroirs. A mild summer promotes both vegetative development and maturations until reaching perfect phenolic maturity while preserving a beautiful freshness.

Vinification and aging

Maceration from 28 to 33 days. The aging of 12 to 14 months is carried out to the extent of 25% in barrels of one wine, 60% in vats and 15% in tanks.

Blend

Black Grenache (56%)
Syrah (22%)
Mourvèdre (20%)
Vaccarèse - cinsault (2%)
