Around the vines

In addition to its exceptional terroir, Château Sénéjac has a wide range of agricultural land.

 

Of the 150 hectares that make up the estate, about forty hectares of forest border the vineyard to the north and south of the property. There is a wide variety of species with hornbeams, oaks, acacias and maritime pines. 

 

Between the vines and this forest the landscape alternates with meadows where horses and donkeys can be seen living in complete freedom. In the park, around the castle, very old fish ponds are the testimony of ancient fish farming practices. They are home to many aquatic species and a sign of great diversity.

 

All of these lands constitute a rich reserve of biodiversity that we wish to maintain, improve and above all preserve.

Extract from the book by Charles Cocks and Edouard Feret Bordeaux and its classified wines in order of merit

 

"The domain of Sénéjac is one of the most pleasant residences of the Médoc; its castle is surrounded by gushing springs feeding more than 500 meters of superimposed basins and surrounded by beautiful alleys of poplars and lime trees, all framed by irrigable and perfectly leveled meadows. ."
