History of Château de Sénéjac
Château de Sénéjac is one of the oldest wine estates in the Médoc. Its first known owner was Nicolas de Bloys, a spirited squire and husband of Jeanne Fleix, who planted the estate’s first vines in the 16th century. Formerly a barony, the estate has been inextricably linked to the nobility and viticulture since its inception.
In the 18th century, the château was purchased by Joseph-Ignace de Chatard, a counselor to the Parliament of Bordeaux, who sold it in 1746 to his nephew Jean-Louis Baour, the future mayor of Pian-Médoc, who undertook the construction of new buildings. It was during this period that the estate took on the elegant silhouette we know today.
In 1874, the property was described in Édouard Féret’s *Statistique générale de la Gironde* as “formerly the seat of a barony, surrounded by a 160-hectare estate, where one finds the most varied terrain.” By the mid-19th century, the vineyard was already producing the equivalent of 100,000 bottles per year. In 1860, the Count de Guigné acquired the estate, and his family remained its owners for 139 years.
It was not until Charles de Guigné arrived in 1974 that the vineyard truly came back to life: he rebuilt it in the purest Médoc tradition. In 1999, the château was acquired by Lorraine Cordier, also owner of Château Talbot, a Saint-Julien Grand Cru Classé.
Since 2011, the fifth generation of the Bignon-Cordier family has been breathing new life into the estate by developing wine tourism and hosting private stays. After four years of careful renovation, the château reopened its doors in 2024 to welcome guests year-round, offering a unique experience in the heart of the Médoc.
