The Estate

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, a Grand Cru Classé from Pauillac.

The Vineyard

This Châteauneuf-du-Pape wine comes from a mosaic of terroirs, composed of rolled pebbles, red sandstone, safre, or sand, depending on the plot.

Vinification and Aging
