The richness and elegance of a red wine from the Rhône Valley
The property
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, Grand Cru Classé de Pauillac.
The vineyard
This Châteauneuf-du-Pape wine comes from a mosaic of terroirs, composed according to the plots of rolled pebbles, red sandstone, safre or sand.
Vinification and aging
Vinification in concrete vat. The maceration period extends over 30 days. This is then followed by aging for 12 months in a vat (55%), in old barrels (25%) and in a concrete vat (20%).
Blend
The Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2020 from Domaine des Sénéchaux is a blend of grenache (54%), syrah (25%) and mourvèdre (21%).
