James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Sansonnet 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

A solid and linear red with very tight and polished tannins. Full-bodied, reserved and compacted. This shows serious length and structure. Graphite and spice to the dark fruit.



James Mothels bewertet den Chateau Sansonnet 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

A lush and inviting style, with waves of cassis and plum puree, caressed by a velvety structure. The long and alluring finish is already well-formed. This has depth, mouthfeel and fruit to burn.

The 2018 Sansonnet is gorgeous. Vibrant, delineated and full of character, the 2018 has so much to offer. In 2018, Sansonnet is a bit restrained and yet it possesses terrific depth and energy in its black cherry, chocolate, licorice and menthol flavors. Always a rich wine, in 2018 Sansonnet has a good bit of freshness and that plays off its more overt leanings very nicely. The 2018 feels just a bit less extracted than some previous editions, and that is a good thing. Not to worry, though, there is plenty of richness and concentration. Sansonnet got better and better as my en primeur tastings progressed. The last of the four samples I tasted was the most impressive.

Lisa Perrotti Brown im März 2020:

Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Sansonnet needs some coaxing to reveal notions of warm blueberries, plum preserves and boysenberries followed by Chinese five spice, licorice, fertile loam and charcuterie with a waft of lavender. Full-bodied, the palate is packed with layered black and blue fruits, framed by ripe, velvety tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing long and with great purity.

The 2017 Sansonnet is a fabulous wine. Ripe and unctuous - without being overdone - Sansonnet offers tons of character, but in the mid-weight style of the year, which is to say the 2017 is not quite as fleshy as readers have come to expect. Raspberry jam, wild flowers, mocha, mint and sweet spice are beautifully layered in the glass. Best of all, the 2017 will drink well with minimal cellaring. Tasted four times.


Neal Martin bewertet den Chateau Sansonnet 2017 Saint Emilion im Februar 2020 wie folgt:

The 2017 Sansonnet was cropped at 21hl/ha and matured in 100% new oak. It has a well defined bouquet building on its promise from barrel, plenty of black fruit with dark chocolate and mint. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a fine bead of acidity, a little powdery in texture. A precise and quite refined finish copes with that new oak with aplomb. This has very good potential.
