There's no hiding from the fact that we are huge fans of Château Pontet Canet. Whilst we wait for their extraordinary 2009 to appear, we are delighted to offer Château Senejac at a special price of £110.00 IB per case. Senejac is under the control of Alfred Tesseron of Pontet Canet (& Pontet Canet's cellar master). 2009 Senejac is fabulous (in our opinion) and is crafted with the same meticulous care and attention, which is now synonymous with Château Pontet Canet.

Robert Parker is a huge fan too and describes the 09 as "Certainly the best wine I have ever tasted from Senejac. A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, oodles of black currant fruit are intermixed with some licorice, underbrush, and foresty notes. Great fruit, a sumptuous, fleshy texture, and plenty of succulence and length make for a big, rich, nicely textured wine to drink over the next decade" 89-91 points.

It's a truly fantastic-bargain and a must for the home cellar. . .
