Chateau Sanctus, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru

The newly renamed vineyard, which still remains a bit confusing to me is lush, polished, rich, ripe, and fleshy. The fruits are sweet, long, and creamy, finishing with layers of plums, black cherries, vanilla, and cocoa that linger with lift, finesse, and freshness. The wine comes from vines on the slopes of their vineyard and is produced blending 80% Merlot with 20% Cabernet Franc. Drink from 2026-2042.

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.

Dark and dense with loads of fleshy fruit. Heat on the finish. No tannins and a pretty low acid. Drink now.
