Médaille d'Or

Concours Bordeaux

Sénilhac enjoys a clay-limestone terroir with significant underground water reserves. This gives the wines the necessary vitality, roundness, and suppleness, even in dry years. A delicately fruity and woody wine, with a supple attack, a fine and elegant structure, and a tight and racy texture. A great Haut-Médoc!
