Domaine Sénéchaux Chateauneuf-du-Pape Blanc 2021
Domaine des Senechaux Chateauneuf-du-Pape Blanc is a very pretty, yet broad-shouldered wine. It brings aromas of lemon peel, spicy herbs, orange blossom and dusty minerals. This has a lovely rich texture which is balanced by mouthwatering acidity straight through the finish.
Grape 33% Roussanne, 29.5% Grenache Blanc, 29.5% Clairette and 8% Bourboulenc
Food match noble fish and shellfish dishes, lobster), poultry, veal, pork, strong cheeses
ABOUT THE PRODUCER
Domaine des Sénéchaux is one of the oldest domaines in Châteauneuf-du-Pape with a history dating back to the 14th century.
The estate covers 25 hectares in two excellent areas: 12 hectares near Château la Nerthe and 15 hectares in the Montalivet-Bois des Sénéchaux district, near Château Rayas. With the Cazes family taking over the property in 2006, there the vineyards and winery have been rejuvenated and restored. The Cazes are, of course, even more famous for their ownership of the superlative Pauillac property, Château Lynch Bages.
The red is a blend of 90% Grenache, 5% Syrah, 3% Mourvèdre and 2% other varietals. Fermentation is in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats and the wines are then matured in French oak barrels for 12- 15 months, some of which are new. The wines are bottled unfiltered.
