More About The Winery Founded in 1857 by Jules Senard, Domaine Comte Senard is

Wine ages on its lees for 11 months in stainless steel

The palate is where it earns its keep

7% muscat and 4% sauvignon blanc

the texture silky

yet underpinned by notes of crushed basalt and Mediterranean scrub

intriguing trace of shoe polish—a hallmark of mature Lafite

and a pleasing sense of completeness

Carignan (5%)

The palate is typically medium to full-bodied

sufficient fruit with a harmonious and quite persistent finish

with the kind of vibrant acidity that makes you reach for another sip before the first has quite finished

The style is deliberately classical—often more reserved in its youth
