Note di degustazione
Tasted on multiple occasions with consistent results, the 2021 Château Sansonnet is another beautiful wine from this talented team and great terroir. Ripe red and black fruits, graphite, spicy oak, and subtle leafy herb and truffly notes all emerge from the glass, and it hits the palate with medium-bodied richness, a pure, elegant mouthfeel, polished tannins, and a great finish. I love it even today, but it will ideally be given just 2-4 years in the cellar and enjoyed over the following decade. The 2021 is 91% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest Cabernet Franc, raised in 70% new barrels, with a portion in foudre as well as amphora.

The 2021 Sansonnet has a composed bouquet with brambly red berry fruit, singed leather and light undergrowth scents, notably open considering its age. The palate is medium-bodied with pastille-like red fruit on the entry, fine acidity and a slightly creamy finish. It will drink nicely for a decade or more.
The 2021 Sansonnet is a powerful, deep wine, as it always is. Strong limestone inflections drive through a core of black fruit, mocha, new leather, licorice, spice and crushed rocks. Today, bright acids dominate. I wouldn’t dream of touching a bottle anytime soon. Tasted two times.
Excellent freshness and depth here with ripe but very vibrant berries. Spices, cigar box, black chocolate and incense, too. Quite juicy and bright on the medium- to full-bodied palate. Tannins are fresh and polished. Long and expressive finish. There is a “modern” touch here that gives a sense of restrained plushness to the vibrancy. Better from 2024.
