Clos Sénéchal
Excellent terroir of hillside from clay-limestone soils. This terroir gives, with the patience of 2 years’ aging, silky tannins and fruit as precise and fine as lace.
Aromatic style: After two years in bottle this terroir gives silky tannins, and a fruit as precise as lace!
Definition of Clos Sénéchal: The slopes which connect the terrace with the tray and which establish the hillside, carry vineyards which benefit from southern exposure.

The work
in the vineyards
At the domaine our work philosophy centers around various criteria:
The wine which we make benefits from a history, a culture, our traditions and especially our passions. So many small gestures from the vineyard to the bottle, the result of artisanal and manual daily work.
It is our pleasure to propose to you flawless natural wines, with the concern to perpetuate the culture of our terroirs, and their benefits, for generations to come.
