Domaine Des Senechaux Domaine des Sénéchaux - AOC Châteauneuf-du-pape Red 2020

The Domaine des Sénéchaux counts itself amongst the oldest vineyards in Castro Novo,the birthplace of the wines of Pape and the creation of ‘‘appellations d’origine contrôlées’’. This fourteenth century property owes its name to the domaine’s key vineyards in the Bois Sénéchaux area. Since 2006, with energy and dedication, the Cazes family is committed to excellence in winemaking, and relies on the continuity provided by winemaker Bernard Tranchecoste who has been on the estate since 1998. The Domaine des Sénéchaux produces robust reds and fleshy whites that reflect a rich terroir and uncompromising expertise, in the heart of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The 24 ha that produce the Domaine des Sénéchaux red wine are South and South-West facing and composed of quartzite pebbles. Vines are planted on three distinct soil types: pebbly clay-limestone, deep sandy soils and molassessafre sandstone. In order to ensure smooth tannins and produce a red wine that is characteristic of the appellation, an intense work of cap-punching, ‘rack and return’ and gentle pumping over is carried out. The wines are aged in wooden tuns and one-wine and two-wine oak barrels.
