Chateau Senailhac Bordeaux Superieur
Description: Tasting Note An elegant, medium-bodied claret that ticks all the boxes: ripe cassis, blackberry and plum fruit with silky tannins and fresh, mouthwatering acidity. Very smooth and easy to drink, it is proof that Bordeaux can really compete in the good value stakes. A bit about Chateau Senailhac A 100ha property surrounding the sort of impressive looking Chateau only found by the Gironde, Senailhac is classic Bordeaux and has benefited from a recent overhaul of the cellars and vineyards by owners GVG. The chateau dates backs from the early 18th century and takes it name from the noble Senailhac, a faithful servant of King Louis XV, who received the estate as payment for his position as a councillor at the Cour des Aides. (12 x 75 cl)

Sichel CHATEAU D'ARGADENS Bordeaux Superieur
Description: The original name of this property, parts of which date back to the 12th and 16th centuries, was La Salle d'Argadens. However, since it was acquired in 2002 by Maison Sichel it has been known as Chateau d'Argadens. Sichel's aim in acquiring d'Argadens was quite simply to see it express the full potential of its wonderful terroir and become one of the benchmark properties in the Bordeaux Superieur category. To achieve this, the company has invested heavily in terms of finance, time and technology. The grapes for this wine Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc come from a 45ha estate, although a little produces white wine. Once aged 12 months in oak barrels, the d'Argadens red has developed a thoroughly modern Bordeaux style with lots of concentrated fruit and an attractive, supple balance. Brilliant deep red colour showing a complex ‘summer pudding' nose of raspberries, redcurrants and blackberries, with just a hint of vanilla oak. Good structure on the palate and beautifully balanced and elegant it has a very long finish. In short, everything one would expect from a top-class Bordeaux. (12 x 75 cl)
