Heiner Lobenberg über:
Chateau Sansonnet Grand Cru Classe 2020

97–98
/100

Lobenberg: Sansonnet ist im Besitz der Familie Lefévère, der auch Villemaurine, Moulin du Cadet und Soutard Cadet gehören. Alle liegen auf dem kühlen Hochplateau von Saint-Émilion in Richtung Castillon. Reiner Kalkstein mit leichter Lehm-Sand-Auflage. Immer sehr elegante Weine, für Saint-Émilion sogar unerwartet fein und finessenreich. Sansonnet ist ein kleines Weingut mit wahnsinnigem Potenzial, das Stück für Stück abgerufen wird in den letzten Jahren. Berater ist das Team Michel Rolland. Reiche, dichte schwarze Frucht. Cassis und Maulbeere, süße Lakritze, aber auch Minze und Eukalyptus. Frische dahinter und viel aromatischer Druck. Der feine Schwarzkirsch-Mund wird untermalt von roter Johannisbeere, von Sauerkirsche. Wow, was für eine Frische! Da ziehen sich die Augen zusammen. Kühler, saftiger Trinkfluss. Mittlere Länge, mittlerer Körper, aber tolle Balance und Finesse. Ein sehr komplexer Wein mit vielen Facetten. Große Länge, Kalksteinmineralität und Salz hintenraus. Aber auch frische rotfruchtige Säure. Ein sehr harmonischer, balancierter, hedonistischer Saint-Émilion. 97-98/100

Jeb Dunnuck über: Chateau Sansonnet Grand Cru Classe

-- Jeb Dunnuck: 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 über: Chateau Sansonnet Grand Cru Classe

-- Galloni: 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 über: Chateau Sansonnet Grand Cru Classe

-- Wine Cellar Insider: 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 über: Chateau Sansonnet Grand Cru Classe

-- Suckling: 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 über: Chateau Sansonnet Grand Cru Classe

-- Parker: 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

Vinum über: Chateau Sansonnet Grand Cru Classe

-- Vinum: Wie 2019 von absolut verblüffender Klasse, pure Frucht, immense Saftigkeit, Extrakt, Klassetannin und doch hervorragende Balance. Gehört zu den echten Hits, weil aller vordergründiger Firlefanz und die Essenz dominiert werden vom reinen Saft der Rebe. 18/20
