The Experience

Elegant proportions and country-house style are pleasing to the eye. Play billiards or take a book to the salon, make tea and coffee in the living room with its easy chairs or hide away in the library. The whole of the ground floor is yours, apart from the kitchen. Take breakfast in the dining room with a fire lit on cool days: fresh croissants and pains au chocolat from the local bakery, good jams, locally roasted coffee.

Bedrooms and suites (one on the ground floor, the rest above) are very big, all with a different colour scheme, but each has wonderful views over the garden or vines, and each a sumptuous bathroom with local organic soaps and lotions. On sunny days you can sit out on the terrace (or have breakfast here) admiring the ponds, or find a shady spot under a tree for a doze. There’s plenty of lawn for children or dogs to gambol and the ponds are fenced.

If you take the whole house you have use of a charming kitchen.

Reviews

Château Sénéjac is a breathtaking fairytale château from the outside, and meets all 21st-century expectations of comfort and relaxation on the inside. Four years of careful renovation by the current owners demonstrates their commitment to the comfort and pleasure of guests, as well as retaining the scale and grandeur of the original visions of the château's architects.

Location

The neighbourhood

Guests get a discount on tours and tastings at the château's vineyard. The nearest village is Le Pian-Médoc, 2.5km, which has a boulangerie, butcher's, bistro and tabac. Within a 15-minute drive there are brasseries, restaurants and wine bars. You're half an hour from Bordeaux and the countryside is rolling and pretty for walks and cycles. The Médoc Natural Park is nearby, as is the coast.

Local points of interest from Bignon-Cordier family

  • More than a château, Sénéjac is a family home with a soul. Warm and welcoming, designed for family reunions, shared moments and genuine disconnection, it invites you to experience the authentic charm of a French château, blending conviviality and elegance.
  • Enjoy the Médoc vineyards by discovering the region’s most prestigious châteaux all around you!
  • The Château’s park offers breathtaking views of the grounds and its fish ponds. Take advantage of this exceptional setting to enjoy a delicious breakfast, a sunny outdoor barbecue, or a candlelit dinner with family or friends.
  • You’re just 10 minutes from Cabot Golf, the incredible Médoc golf course. Make the most of your stay with a round of golf in this exceptional setting.
  • Spend the afternoon in downtown Bordeaux and enjoy a cultural escape: visit the Cité du Vin, the Bassin des Lumières, Musée d’Aquitaine, and much more...

Introducing

Bignon-Cordier family

In 1999 Lorraine Cordier, also owner of Château Talbot, Grand Cru Classé in Saint-Julie, took over the vineyard to bring it up to the level of the best Médoc wines. Since 2011, when Lorraine died, her nieces Philippine and Marguerite and her nephew Gustave have taken over the family property, supported by their parents Nancy Bignon-Cordier and Jean-Paul Bignon.
