Chateau Sansonnet

Jeb Dunnuck über den Chateau Sansonnet 2019 Saint Emilion:
Another beautiful wine from the Lefévère family that does everything right, the 2019 Château Sansonnet has a textbook Saint-Emilion bouquet of chalky minerality, ripe red and black fruits, notes of truffle and flowers, medium to full body, and beautiful overall balance. In the past, this wine has had a glossy, slightly modern style (in a good sense), but the 2019 has an incredibly classic feel with its oak nicely integrated and just a liquid rock-like minerality on the finish. It's a gorgeous wine that will benefit from 2-4 years of bottle age and keep for over two decades.
 

James Suckling über den Chateau Sansonnet 2019 Saint Emilion:
Ripe blackberries, cherries, praline, walnuts and lavender on the nose. It’s medium-to full-bodied with fine, plush tannins. Creamy and polished. Drink after 2024.
 

Antonio Galloni (Vinous) bewertet den Chateau Sansonnet 2019 Saint Emilion:
The 2019 Sansonnet offers a striking combination of fruit intensity and structure. There is plenty of the intense, inky fruit that readers have come to expect in recent years, but that opulence is beautifully balanced by the wine's energy and overall drive. Blackberry jam, spice, leather, tobacco, menthol, cedar and chocolate build as the 2019 shows off its alluring personality. Tasted two times.
 

Neal Martin (Vinous) zum Chateau Sansonnet 2019 Saint Emilion:
The 2019 Sansonnet seems to revel in the vintage. The aromatics explode from the glass with precocious black cherry, raspberry and blueberry scents, the oak neatly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied and manages to counterbalance its power with tension, retaining crucial sapidity on the prolonged finish. Excellent.
 

Für den Wine Spectator verköstigte James Molesworth denChateau Sansonnet 2019 Saint Emilion:
This is both lush and structured, with a gush of dark, steeped cassis, blackberry and fig notes leading the way and quickly followed by singed alder and juniper, warm humus and cast iron notes, which really linger. This won't ever be a charmer, but it will develop nicely over time. Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2023 through 2038. 2,100 cases made, 300 cases imported.

James Suckling schreibt zum Chateau Sansonnet 2020 Saint Emilion Folgendes:
Notes of ripe blackberries and blueberries with black licorice, tree bark, chocolate and moist earth. Medium- to full-bodied and dense. It has layers of ultra-fine tannins wrapping up the deep core of dark fruit. Structured and velvety with a long finish. Try after 2026.
 

Den Chateau Sansonnet 2020 Saint Emilion beschreibt Jeb Dunnuck wie folgt:
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.

Den Chateau Sansonnet 2020 Saint Emilion beschreibt Fallstaff wie folgt:
Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, opaker Kern, zarte Randaufhellung. Edelholz, schwarze Waldbeeren, Lakritze, feine florale Nuancen, kandierte Orangenzesten, etwas Dörrfeigen. Komplex, rote Kirschen, feine Fruchtsüße, runde, samtige Tannine, sehr gute Frische, versteckt am Gaumen seine Muskeln sehr gekonnt, mineralisch und lange anhaftend, sicheres Zukunftspotenzial, braucht noch etwas Zeit.
 

Das meint die Vinous-Mannschaft um Antonio Galloni zum Chateau Sansonnet:
"einer der besten Weine in jüngster Vergangenheit" so urteilt Antonio Galloni und wertet ihn sogar einen Punkt höher als noch das Fassmuster (93-95).

 

Den Sansonnet 2022 aus Saint Emilion habe ich wie folgt verkostet:
93-95
Die Nase wirkt fast wie auch bei Valandraud, aber nicht ganz so laut und röstig. Vielmehr sind es kleine Akzente von Kirsche und roter Johannisbeere die den Wein frischer und vitaler wirken lassen. Das Holz wirkt sehr behutsam eingesetzt im Vergleich zu einigen Jahren zuvor, als wenn man etwas auf die Bremse treten wollte. Genügend Struktur ist vorhanden, der Mund öffnet sich sehr raumgreifend, die Tannine sind reif und feingliedrig, die Säure frisch. Guter saftiger Ausklang, mit Vitalität, fast tänzerisch.

Den Sansonnet 2022 aus Saint Emilion hat Jeb Dunnuck wie folgt verkostet:
Winemaker Marie Lefévère made a bevy of brilliant wines in 2022, and her 2022 Château Sansonnet is up there with the finest vintages to date. A blend of 92% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon, it has a pure, well-oaked, yet balanced and textured style carrying beautiful red and black fruits as well as some floral, spicy background nuances. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, the tannins are ripe and nicely integrated, the balance is spot-on, and it has a great finish. I was able to taste this on multiple occasions and it always impressed.
