Tasting notes

The 2015 Sansonnet is composed of 90% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Cabernet Franc aged for 16 months in French oak, 80% new. Deep garnet-purple with a nose of crushed blackberries, plum preserves and beef drippings with touches of sautéed herbs and tapenade, the full-bodied palate has loads of concentration and energy with a firm, velvety frame and long finish.

About this wine

Château Sansonnet is a distinguished Saint-Émilion estate producing elegant red wines that exemplify the finest terroir of Bordeaux's Right Bank. Crafted from a harmonious blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine captures the complexity and structure characteristic of the appellation's premier crus. The combination of these noble varietals creates a full-bodied expression with firm tannins and a velvety texture that develops beautifully over time.

The Saint-Émilion region's unique limestone-clay terroir imparts distinctive herbaceous notes and mineral characteristics to Château Sansonnet's wines. The estate's winemaking approach balances traditional Bordeaux methods with thoughtful viticulture, resulting in wines of depth and elegance. Each vintage offers a long, refined finish that speaks to the quality of fruit and careful extraction.

This Cabernet Franc-based blend pairs exceptionally well with roasted lamb, duck confit, aged cheeses, and hearty game dishes, ideal for fine dining tables and intimate villa dinners alike. A sophisticated choice for collectors seeking authentic Saint-Émilion character and aging potential.
