A Well-Liked Wine

Wines that are well reviewed by multiple sources often come with prices that match. At Joe Canal's we pride ourselves on finding outstanding products at everyday prices, and the 2010 Chateau Senejac Haut Medoc is another tremendous discovery by our buyers. With a score range that runs from a high of 93 to a low of 87, the reviewers either liked the wine, or loved the wine, and we think you will as well.

Le Chateau

This wine is a blend of 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Petit Verdot. The vines average 35 years of age. And here come the ratings:

Wine Enthusiast: 93 Points. "This chateau is under the same ownership as Saint-Julien’s Château Talbot. The wine is firm, fruity, rich and concentrated, showing all the best qualities of 2010. There is a complex array of black fruits which are sustained by the firm, solid tannins. Age for at least 6–7 years."

Wine Spectator: (89-92) Points. "Still compact, with a very briary, juicy core of plum, dark currant and braised fig, followed by a roasted tobacco edge on the finish. Offers lively acidity. Should unwind nicely."

Wine Advocate: (87-90) Points. "Pontet-Canet's brilliant proprietor, Alfred Tesseron, has begun to look after the wines of Senejac and the result is a tasty, elegant 2010 offering copious berry fruit notes intermixed with hints of cedarwood and spice. This cuvee should be drinkable upon release and evolve for a decade." (Sleeper of the Vintage).

Stephen Tanzer: 87 Points. "Dark red. Inviting aromas of redcurrant, coffee, brown spices and truffley underbrush. Supple, sweet and on the soft side, offering dark berry and light herbal flavors of moderate intensity. This midweight finishes with dusty tannins and decent persistence."
