Benjamin de Sansonnet 2006

Located at the east end of St-Emilion, on the highest point of the plateau, Sansonnet is a neighbour to a few of the great classified growth Bordeaux properties. The d'Aulan family acquired the château in 1999, and in renovating it, have poured millions into the winery and vineyards. The exceptional terroir is composed of an argilo-limestone soil, on a rocky subsoil, ideal for quality Merlot and Cabernet. Forgotten in the past, Sansonnet now takes its legitimate place among the superior wines of St-Emilion.
