Cailleteau Bergeron 2022 Futs De Chene
Senilhac 2019 Haut Medoc
Château Senilhac is a solid Cru Bourgeois that delivers a classic Left Bank profile with approachability. Grown on clay-limestone soils, it produces a wine with a smooth, rich character and plenty of structure. In the glass, look for aromas of ripe blackcurrant and red cherry accented by touches of oak spice (vanilla, toast) and a hint of cedar. There’s also an underlying earthy, graphite note marking its Médoc origin.
The palate is medium-bodied to full, offering sweet dark berry and plum flavors up front, followed by notes of cocoa and tobacco toward the back. The texture is generous and balanced – the fruit is plush and forward, while the tannins are present but relatively refined (not harsh). As a young wine, Senilhac can show firm, dry tannins in the core (typical of its structure). but they are surrounded by ample fruit and a hint of spice, so the wine remains drinkable and satisfying.
The finish brings a mix of spice, oak, and lingering blackberries. Overall, Château Senilhac is an honest, well-structured Haut-Médoc with ripe fruit, a touch of oak, and a classic backbone, drinking well in its first decade while also holding a bit for further softening.
Coquard 2019 Fleurie

On the palate, Coquard Fleurie is light-bodied and elegant, with soft, silky tannin that provide structure without overwhelming the senses. The dominant flavors mirror the aromas, with bright red fruit notes taking center stage. Juicy raspberry, cherry, and cranberry flavors dance across the palate, accompanied by floral undertones that add depth and complexity. There's a refreshing acidity that balances the fruitiness, lending the wine a lively and refreshing character. The finish is smooth and lingering, leaving a subtle impression of red fruits and florals.
