Reviewed April 2022Another beautiful wine from the Lefévère family that does everything right, the 2019 Château Sansonnet has a textbook Saint-Emilion bouquet of chalky minerality, ripe red and black fruits, notes of truffle and flowers, medium to full body, and beautiful overall balance. In the past, this wine has had a glossy, slightly modern style (in a good sense), but the 2019 has an incredibly classic feel with its oak nicely integrated and just a liquid rock-like minerality on the finish. It's a gorgeous wine that will benefit from 2-4 years of bottle age and keep for over two decades.

The Wine Independent
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2019 Sansonnet bursts with baked plums, boysenberry preserves, and chocolate box plus touches of tar and black olives. Full-bodied, the palate is rich and voluptuous with firm, rounded tannins and oodles of freshness to support, finishing long with loads of exotic spice sparks.

Vinous
The 2019 Sansonnet offers a striking combination of fruit intensity and structure. There is plenty of the intense, inky fruit that readers have come to expect in recent years, but that opulence is beautifully balanced by the wine's energy and overall drive. Blackberry jam, spice, leather, tobacco, menthol, cedar and chocolate build as the 2019 shows off its alluring personality. Tasted two times. (AG)

Jane Anson
Dark plum colour, this is so juicy, well balanced and delivered, rich and deep, juicy damson, chocolate, roasted coffee bean, austere but full of promise and a gorgeous wine. Tasted twice. An upscore from En Primeur. A yield of 35hl/ha. Michel Rolland consultant.
Notes
94 points Neal Martin for Vinous: "The 2019 Sansonnet seems to revel in the vintage. The aromatics explode from the glass with precocious black cherry, raspberry and blueberry scents, the oak neatly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied and manages to counterbalance its power with tension, retaining crucial sapidity on the prolonged finish. Excellent." (5/2019)
