Château Sansonnet, a revival!

Right on the doorstep of the medieval town Château Sansonnet is located at the top of the clay-limestone plateau of Saint-Emilion, an exceptional terroir. The vineyard of 7 hectares in a single block, extends around the Chateau.
The property’s buildings were fully renovated in 2023. Our wines are now vinified in a new vat room equipped with cutting-edge technology and designed to encourage plot-by-plot work. The aging of our vintages into barrels, wooden casks and amphoras continues in the fully restored cellars.
To meet the expectations and curiosity of each guest, we imagined two different workshops.

A unique, tailor-made experience!
