Domaine des Sénéchaux : Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2007

A full-bodied and balanced white wine from Châteauneuf-du-Pape

The estate

The Domaine des Sénéchaux is a vineyard whose origins date back to the 14th century. Taking its name from the Bois Sénéchaux district, one of the most significant plots of the estate, Domaine des Sénéchaux was acquired in 2006 by the Cazes family, owners of the prestigious Château Lynch-Bages, a Grand Cru Classé from Pauillac.

The vineyard

The Domaine des Sénéchaux oversees a 3-hectare plot that produces a great Châteauneuf-du-Pape white wine. Facing south/southwest, the vines are planted on a superficial soil composed of sand, clay, and limestone.

The wine

Depending on the vintages, this Châteauneuf-du-Pape from Domaine des Sénéchaux is made from typical vineyards of the Rhône Valley such as roussanne, clairette, white grenache, and bourboulenc.
