This Bordeaux wine is dense and resonant, where black cherry, plum, chocolate, licorice and smoke all meld together in this layered Saint-Émilion. In 2016, it is quite understated and shows more of an emphasis on freshness than in the past.
Deep purple in color, it sings of plum preserves, warm cassis and dark chocolate with touches of tobacco, bay leaves, lavender and a waft of dusty soil. The palate is medium-bodied, elegant and savory in the mouth with loads of layers and a lifted finish
Château Sansonnet is a classic Saint-Émilion: smooth, dense and generous. The nose develops aromas of black fruit, mocha and spices. On the palate it is round and delicate.
