Château Sénéjac, (Magnum) 2020
The wines of Sénéjac are characterised by a deep colour almost black in their young years. The very expressive nose exhales scents of black fruits and spices. In the mouth, Sénéjac presents a lot of fullness and intensity while remaining suave and civilised thanks to the smoothness of its tannins. As well as an impressive 93 points from James Suckling, Sénéjac scores 91 points for Jane Anson who, still reviewing for Decanter in 2021, included it in her shortlist of “ Best-value Bordeaux reds 2020 ” where it was comfortably one of the least expensive featured.
Santenay Premier Cru Rouge, Les Gravieres, Vincent Girardin 2021
Having started with a tiny 3ha back in the 80s, Vincent Girardin now owns 14ha of enviably sited parcels, with another 19ha on lease, and this is practically the first in-house vintage for the Domaine. Head winemaker Eric Germain's steady conversion to biodynamics, earlier picking, reduced usage of new oak and earlier racking into neutral barrels all mean the focus is on terroir expression & energy, and the results are nothing short of profound. The wines are lithe and vibrant, with marked freshness, yet extra richness and concentration. Perfect example of what can be achieved in these satellite villages. Very smooth, silky red with purity and elegance. Oodles of red fruit with impressive concentration and purity that has herbal notes and sweet spice emerging on the finish. There is depth and charm wrapped in a warm generous mouthfeel. Nick Daniell, Club Wine Buyer
