Falstaff
Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Zart nach Vanille und Nougat, reife Herzkirschen, süße Pflaumen. Saftig, rotbeerig und frisch, zarte Tannine, Ribiseln, zitronig im Abgang, schlank im Finale. 

Wine Advocate 
From a vineyard opposite Trottevieille, the 2021 Sansonnet opens in the glass with aromas of berries, plums, licorice and burning embers. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and rather muscular, with good depth at the core, tangy acids and powdery tannins that assert themselves on the finish, it's 91% Merlot, the balance Cabernet Franc. 

Jeff Leve 
Sweet, round, dark cherries, cocoa, smoke, licorice, espresso and cocoa give the wine a nice sweetness on the nose and a lushness to the medium-bodied palate, which finishes with black cherries and chocolate on the backend. Drink from 2023-2038. 

James Suckling 
Excellent freshness and depth here with ripe but very vibrant berries. Spices, cigar box, black chocolate and incense, too. Quite juicy and bright on the medium- to full-bodied palate. Tannins are fresh and polished. Long and expressive finish. There is a “modern” touch here that gives a sense of restrained plushness to the vibrancy. Better from 2024.
