Closerie De Seneilhan

Closerie de Sénéilhan is produced under the Coureau & Coureau label, using grapes selected from vineyards in Listrac-Médoc. The producer's catalogue describes it as a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, selected to express the character of the appellation.

Merlot contributes roundness, ripe fruit flavours and a softer texture, while Cabernet Sauvignon provides structure, tannins and ageing potential.

Closerie de Sénéilhan 2015 is expected to display a deep ruby-red colour, with subtle garnet reflections developing as the wine matures. On the nose, it offers an inviting combination of ripe cherries, blackcurrants and blackberries, complemented by delicate hints of cedarwood, tobacco and earthy undertones. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, with a well-balanced structure, rounded tannins and refreshing acidity. Its rich fruit flavours blend harmoniously with savoury notes, creating an elegant and satisfying drinking experience. The finish is smooth and persistent, leaving lingering impressions of dark fruit and gentle spice.

Closerie de Sénéilhan 2015 pairs particularly well with grilled beef, roasted lamb, slow-braised meats and traditional French dishes. Its balanced tannins and fruit character also complement mushroom risotto, roasted vegetables and mature cheeses.

For Chinese cuisine, recommended pairings include black pepper beef, roast duck, red-braised pork, braised beef and mushroom-based dishes.
