Tasting Notes:
"This is the star of the vintage in Listrac in 2010. It is 'opaque purple in color, with a gorgeous nose of expresso roast, blackberry, cassis, incense and violets, the wine is deep, broad, savory, full-bodied, loaded with fruit, and has loads of blycerin and concentration as well as a terrific finish. This is classified-growth quality and should drink well for at least a decade or more.' 91 Points Robert Parker The Wine Advocate #205 February 2013" - Importer

The Estate:
"The Saransot domaine has been planted with vines since 1735. At the time, it was part of the Cru Hosten, the most celebrated property in Listrac during the 18th Century. In 1844, a Hosten family heir sold the buildings and vines to another Listrac winemaker Dupre. In 1868, Dupre renovated the old Hosten buildings and joined them with the Saransot vineayrds to create Chateau Saransot-Dupre. Dupre's children sold the property in 1875 to the Raymond family, long-established growers in Listrac who had been producing wine in the area since 1756, and the chateau has remained in the family ever since. In 1932, the wine was classed Cru Bourgeois Superieur, as standing it achieved again in 2003." - Importer

Wine Making:
"The soil of this domaine is mostly composed of clay and limestone (rather than the usual Medoc Clay/Gravel combination), and so Merlot and Cabernet Franc are the dominant varieties, and give this wine the supple round tannins and elegance that define the property. Cabernet Sauvignon (13%) and Petit Verdot (15%) contribute the power and structure. The vinification is traditional, in temperature controlled vats and oak aged in 25-30% new barriques each vintage." - Importer
