Tapperi / Importør: Sansonnet, Marie-Benedict Lefevre, 1 Sansonnet, 33330 Saint Emilion, FRANKREICH

Sansonnet ejes af Lefévère-familien, som også ejer Villemaurine, Moulin du Cadet og Soutard Cadet. Alle ligger på det kølige højplateau i Saint-Émilion i retning af Castillon. Ren kalksten med et let lag af ler og sand. Altid meget elegante vine, for Saint-Émilion endda uventet fine og fulde af finesse. Sansonnet er en lille vingård med et utroligt potentiale, som er blevet realiseret lidt efter lidt i de senere år. Konsulenten er Michel Rolland-teamet. Fyldig, tæt sort frugt. Cassis og morbær, sød lakrids, men også mynte og eukalyptus. Friskhed bagved og masser af aromatisk tryk. Den fine mundfølelse af sorte kirsebær ledsages af ribs og surkirsebær. Wow, sikke en friskhed! Den får dine øjne til at lukke sig. Køligt, saftigt drikkeflow. Medium længde, medium krop, men stor balance og finesse. En meget kompleks vin med mange facetter. Stor længde, kalkstensmineralitet og salt i eftersmagen. Men også frisk rød-frugtagtig syre. En meget harmonisk, afbalanceret, hedonistisk Saint-Émilion. 97-98/100

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Sansonnet Grand Cru Classe

Another head-turning vintage from this château, the 2020 Château Sansonnet is based on 95% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest Cabernet Franc, from yields of 36 hectoliters per hectare, that was raised in 80% new barrels. Possessing incredible purity in its black raspberry and cassis fruit as well as notes of white flowers, camphor, and spicy oak, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, polished, ultra-fine tannins, flawless balance, and a great, great finish. This estate, under the guidance of Marie and Christophe Lefévère, has had a shocking string of truly incredible vintages, and given that these continue to be undervalued in the market, it's the wine lovers and wine drinkers out there who benefit. If you get a chance, don't miss this beauty. 96/100

Galloni om: Chateau Sansonnet Grand Cru Classe

The 2020 Sansonnet is one of the best wines here in recent memory. Ample and explosive in feel, the 2020 offers up copious dark fruit, chocolate, spice and new leather notes. There's not much subtlety, but I don't think it matters much. This full-throttle, unabashedly opulent Saint-Émilion is lights out. Tasted two times. 96/100

Wine Cellar Insider om: Chateau Sansonnet Grand Cru Classe

Inky in color, the wine is opaque in your glass. Strong notes of licorice, wet earth, chocolate-covered black raspberries, smoke, espresso and charcoal create the nose. The wine is full-bodied, plush, opulent and sensuous. Even, with all its weight and density, the wine is silky, fresh and vibrant. The voluptuous finish builds and expands with wave after wave of dark, hedonistic fruits. This is a superb wine that should age and develop for at least 2 decades. 95-97

Suckling om: Chateau Sansonnet Grand Cru Classe

A powerful and intense red with blackberry, blueberry and ultra fine chewy tannins. It’s so long and energetic. Dense center palate. 95-96/100

Parker om: Chateau Sansonnet Grand Cru Classe

Deep purple-black colored, the 2020 Sansonnet needs a bit of swirling and coaxing to release its beguiling nose of black cherry preserves, bursting ripe blueberries and stewed plums, with hints of star anise, violets, dark chocolate and cardamom, plus a waft of wood smoke. The rich, decadent, full-bodied palate (15% alcohol) delivers impactful, mouth-coating black fruits, framed by velvety tannins and seamless freshness, finishing with lingering exotic spices notes.This 35+-year-old, 6.96-hectare vineyard is planted to 6,000 vines per hectare on thin clay and limestone soils atop the Saint-Émilion plateau, just across the road from Château Trotte Vieille. This 2020 blend is 95% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc, aging for around 16 months in French oak barrels, 80% new. 94-96/100
