- 2005 Catherine et Pierre Breton Bourgueil Clos Sénéchal - France, Loire Valley, Touraine, Bourgueil (12/5/2007)
This is the biggest Sénéchal I can remember. Brooding, black fruit with tons of stuffing framed with nice, fresh acidity. I think there's some new wood used, but I couldn't spot it. The fruit is so intense at this point, it masks everything -- tons of plums, tobacco, and graphite -- followed by considerable fine tannin. This is just a bottomless pit of a wine.
