2023 Château Sansonnet

A juicy and fruity red with blackberry and currant aromas and crunchy flavors on a medium body. Refined for the vintage. (04/2024)

Cassis, darker blackberries, spicy wood, and an undeniable sense of minerality all emerge from the 2023 Château Sansonnet, a medium to full-bodied 2023 that has terrific purity and elegance, as well as ample fruit and texture. It shines on all accounts and is unquestionably another beautiful wine from this team that has tons to love. The 2023 is 87% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon from a single parcel on the upper, limestone plateau that will spend 16 months in 70% new barrels, 22% in foudre, and 8% in amphora.

The 2023 Sansonnet is deep garnet-purple in color. Plum preserves, red currant jelly, and mulberries scents pop from the glass with underlying charcoal and black olives hints. Medium-bodied, the palate is firm and grainy with a lively line and great length. The blend is 87% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. (05/2024)
