Château Sénilhac extends over 23 hectares of vines on a clay-limestone terroir with a large water reserve in the subsoil. Even in dry years, this gives the wines the necessary sap, roundness and suppleness. The 2006 vintage shows great intensity, with aromas of ripe fruit and fine woody notes. A great Haut-Médoc!
