Château Sansonnet 2022 – Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, Grand Cru Classé

The nose is nicely built and offers a racy limestone power, depth, intensity as well as a lovely bouquet of fruits. It reveals notes of blueberry, morello cherry and small notes of concentrated cassis associated with small touches of roasted-juicy fruits as well as fine hints of rosemary/aromatic herbs, infusion/black tea and zan. The palate is nicely built, fruity, elegant, supple, airy, and offers delicacy in its power, a lovely shine, a certain brilliance of the fruit. It expresses notes of morello cherry, blueberry and small notes of bright cherry associated with touches of roasted-juicy small fruits as well as hints of tonka bean/mocha, toast, zan, infusion, concentrated cassis, roasting and black olive. Tannins are sapid, savoury, precise, a little mellow and a fine straightness. Lovely silky and delicate touch.
