Château Sénailhac
Château Sénailhac produces wines from Bordeaux Supérieur, the appellation that sits just above the regional Bordeaux designation in the hierarchy of the world's most celebrated wine region. The estate's flagship Bordeaux Supérieur blends the classic Bordeaux varieties—Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Malbec—in proportions that reflect the region's tradition of structured, age-worthy reds. Wine Spectator has rated the wine, placing it within the framework of serious Bordeaux evaluation. Bordeaux Supérieur demands riper fruit and lower yields than basic Bordeaux, a distinction that shapes the character of wines from this appellation. The blend of these four grapes allows for complexity: Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc provide structure and dark fruit; Merlot softens the palate; Malbec adds depth and tannin. Wines from this tier typically show the balance and aging potential that define the region's reputation.
