Château Sansonnet Description
Château Sansonnet is located at the very top of the Saint-Emilion plateau. Its exceptional soil consists of a thin layer of clay over limestone. The vineyard covers a single 7-hectare (17-acre) plot that surrounds the chateau. A dominant 85% proportion of Merlot is blended with Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Its wine, which has great keeping potential, displays an intense ruby colour. When aired, it releases aromas of sour cherry and blackcurrant. Big on the attack, it evolves harmoniously on the palate towards an expression of fine tannins with a ripe fruit flavour.
Vinous: 94 Points
The 2022 Sansonnet is an ample, dark wine. Black cherry, chocolate, new leather, licorice, incense and espresso all take shape in this decidedly potent, explosive Saint-Émilion. Readers will find a wine of unctuous density and volume. It's another striking offering from proprietor Marie Benedicte Lefevere.
