Owned by the renowned \u003cstrong\u003eCazes family\u003c\/strong\u003e of Château Lynch-Bages since 2006, Domaine des Sénéchaux has become one of the benchmark estates of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, producing wines that combine traditional southern Rhône richness with exceptional elegance and precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLocated in the heart of the appellation, the estate's vineyards span the famous \u003cstrong\u003egalets roulés\u003c\/strong\u003e, sandy soils and clay-limestone parcels that contribute both power and finesse to the wines. The 2021 growing season was notably cooler than recent vintages, resulting in a classic, fresh and beautifully structured expression with outstanding aromatic purity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blend comprises \u003cstrong\u003e48% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 22% Mourvèdre\u003c\/strong\u003e, with each variety vinified separately before maturation in a combination of traditional large oak foudres and French oak barrels. This gentle élevage preserves fruit purity while adding texture and complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bouquet reveals vibrant aromas of raspberry, kirsch, wild strawberry and blackberry, layered with Provençal herbs, cracked black pepper, lavender, liquorice and subtle earthy spice. The palate is medium- to full-bodied, silky and refined, combining juicy red and black fruits with fine-grained tannins, bright natural acidity and a savoury mineral finish. Elegant rather than powerful, it captures the classic style of Châteauneuf-du-Pape with impressive balance and ageing potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlready highly enjoyable with decanting, the 2021 Domaine des Sénéchaux Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge will continue to develop beautifully over the next \u003cstrong\u003e10–15 years\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Domaine des Sénéchaux\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhône, France\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAppellation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Châteauneuf-du-Pape AOC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlend:\u003c\/strong\u003e 48% Grenache, 30% Syrah, 22% Mourvèdre\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full-Bodied Southern Rhône Red\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cork\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood Pairing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Roast lamb, slow-braised beef, duck confit, venison, grilled Mediterranean vegetables, and aged Comté or Ossau-Iraty cheese.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Terroir Selections","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52218518634798,"sku":"8512197434","price":129.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/6596\/6894\/files\/2021DomainedesSenechauxChateauneuf-du-Pape750ml.png?v=1781845853","url":"https:\/\/www.jcfinewines.au\/products\/2021-domaine-des-senechaux-chateauneuf-du-pape-750ml","provider":"JC FINE WINES","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
