Château Sansonnet 2021

Succulent and supple, this is precise and stands out. The fruit has a pristine, almost clean quality to it, lightly framed but good layers of red berry fruit, cooling touches of mocha and cassis as well as crushed stone minerality. A nice presentation of the vintage and terroir – all well worked and well presented. It’s not so round but has a deliciously delicate body giving depth of flavour and lightness of touch in terms of structure. Not long but elegant and totally classy. Charming and just easy to like. Tasted three times. Drinking window: 2025-2038. Score – 92. (Georgina Hindle, decanter.com)
