Les notes d'excellence se succèdent d'année en année. Aujourd'hui un, c'est l'un des meilleurs domaines de Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
Domaine Sénéchaux has turned out a lovely 2017 Chateauneuf du Pape. Pencil shavings accent mixed red and black cherries on the nose, adding hints of baking spices and vanilla. It's a blend of 48% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 22% Mourvèdre, aged mainly in foudres, with some barrels mixed in, and 10% staying in concrete tanks. Full-bodied, supple, ripe and intense, it's modern in style and hits all the marks yet retains a sense of restraint. Tasted twice (once blind), with consistent results.
Mulled plum and blackberry flavors glide along, laced with hints of licorice root, dark tobacco and warm earth. Stays velvety in feel through the finish, with the earthy notes echoing longest. Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cinsault and Vaccarèse. Drink now through 2027.
