Curiosity about a centuries-old history: The estate’s origins date back to the 16th century (around 1500), making Château Sénéjac one of the oldest historic properties in the Haut-Médoc region. The Cordier family’s signature: Since 1999 the property has been owned by the Bignon-Cordier family, already tied to the historic Château Talbot (Grand Cru Classé of Saint-Julien). A superb vintage: 2018 in Bordeaux is remembered as an exceptional vintage, characterized by a rainy spring followed by a hot and sunny summer that allowed perfect phenolic ripening of the grapes.
