Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (2020 guide) 4*Stars (Very high quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)
About the domain :
Under the efficient management of Ludovic David, with the full support of the Sénéclauze family, owners of the 40 hectares of vines since 1935, this cru has gradually refined its tannin quality and the integration of its oakiness. Ludovic David has revolutionized the vinification and ageing of this cru with its remarkable terroir, equipping it with the most modern tools, enabling it to rediscover its Margaux typicity and, since 2010, to compete with the best wines in the area.
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2022) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
Straddling the communes of Margaux and Cantenac, this cru, founded in 1762, has been owned by the Sénéclauze family since 1935. At the helm of the 40-hectare vineyard is a new manager since 2009, Ludovic David, an agricultural engineer who cut his teeth in the Libourne region, working for Bernard Magrez. In 2019, a restaurant was opened to complement the tourist activities on offer.

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Domaine noté (guide 2023) Sélectionné (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and as such, all the estates that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).
About the domain :
Owned by the Sénéclauze family, this discreet cru has been gaining in density and precision for several vintages now. This is due in part to Ludovic David, the vineyard manager, who has taken charge of the vineyards and modernized the winemaking equipment. The desire to produce fuller-bodied wines with more velvety tannins is clearly evident, and all that's missing is a hint of the extra refinement that seems to be arriving with the latest vintages.
