Château Sanctus (St. Émilion Grand Cru)
The newly renamed vineyard, which still remains a bit confusing to me is deeply colored in the glass. The wine is plush, concentrated, opulent, and layered with dark plums, chocolate, licorice, and dark pit fruits. The finish, with its creamy textures, freshness and length is simply great. The wine comes from vines on the slopes of their vineyard and is produced blending 80% Merlot with 20% Cabernet Franc. Drink from 2027-2045. 93-95 Pts. 2,050 Views Tasted May 8, 2023 |
