Chateau Sansonnet

Case Format: 75cl

Max score: 92

Drink To: 2028-2045

At just 17 hectares, Château Sansonnet is a modestly sized estate that is respected for creating an intense Merlot dominant wine, dripping in aromas of sour cherry and ripe blackcurrant. Its 7 hectares of vineyard are planted with Merlot (c.85%), Cabernet Franc (c.8%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (c.7%) and sit on a terroir of thin, shallow clay and limestone soils which comprise the Saint-Émilion plateau. The wines are aged for 16 months in 7% new French oak and amphora. Château Sansonnet has excellent ageing potential and really begins to open up after about 7-9 years of bottle maturation.

Neal Martin

The 2023 Sansonnet has a lively bouquet with blackberry, raspberry and wild hedgerow scents, furnished with violet and peony. Nicely focused. The palate is medium-bodied with svelte tannins, fine acidity, good backbone with a cohesive and lightly spiced finish that begs you back for more. Excellent, although served at different temperatures in two tastings, pour this below, not at room temperature.

90% Merlot, 10% Cabernets Franc and Sauvignon. Cask sample.Deepest crimson. Intense cassis, super-concentrated in aroma. Dark and slightly charry. Like the Rol Valentin, this is concentrated to the point of slight bitterness. Just too much, with a sweet-sour and charry finish. Too much of everything. (JH)
