Description

'The 2000 Chateau Sansonnet is a seductive wine. Ripe and decadent, with spice, meat and earth notes. Full-bodied, with big, soft and rich tannins and a long chocolatey finish. Lovely.' WIne Spectator

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.

Château Sansonnet, located in the revered Saint-Émilion appellation of Bordeaux, France, is a distinguished estate known for producing wines of exceptional quality and character. With a history dating back to the 19th century, this historic property has undergone a renaissance under the stewardship of its current owners. Situated on clay and limestone soils, Château Sansonnet meticulously tends its vineyards, primarily planted with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon, to produce wines that epitomize the essence of Saint-Émilion terroir. Exhibiting depth, complexity, and a sense of place, the wines of Château Sansonnet captivate enthusiasts with their rich flavors, supple tannins, and long, lingering finish. Embracing tradition while embracing innovation, Château Sansonnet continues to uphold its legacy as a benchmark of excellence in Saint-Émilion, delivering wines that reflect both the estate's history and its commitment to crafting exceptional Bordeaux expressions.
