Notes from the Importer: Clos Sénéchal is one of the top two red Bourgueil wines produced by the Bretons. It is from a parcel on the hillside above the plateau of Galichets, where clay and limestone soil sits atop the famed tuffeau of the Loire, the chalky white limestone quarried to build many of the famed châteaux of the region. Sénéchal is macerated in open wood vats and fermented and aged in wooden foudres. It is bottled without fining or filtration after 18 months of aging. This is a heady, wild, deep, grand Cabernet Franc. They do everything right, and the wine shows it.
