Reviews of 2001 Sanctus Bordeaux Blend

90 points, Robert Parker, Wine Advocate
June 2004
This estate’s debut vintage, 1998, was overly oaked, but subsequent vintages have gotten better, and this is the finest yet produced at this 9-acre vineyard (planted with 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc). The omnipresent Stephane Derenoncourt is the winemaking consultant. The opaque purple-colored 2001 offers up a sweet perfume of espresso roast, kirsch liqueur, black currants, licorice, and spice box. Toasty oak makes an appearance on the palate, along with a wealth of fruit, concentration, and extract. This impressively-endowed Bordeaux should take on even more character as it ages. Give it 2-3 years of cellaring and consume it over the following 12-15.

88-91 points, Robert Parker, Wine Advocate
April 2002
The 2001 (produced from yields of 25 hectoliters per hectare) is a rich, top-notch garage wine with plenty of opulence, jammy ripe fruit, spicy new oak, and plenty of appeal. It should drink well for 10-15 years. The first vintage for this 7.5-acre vineyard was 1998, an over-oaked, under-wined effort. That was followed by a so-so offering in 1999, but a strong performance in 2000. Now that consultant Stephane Derenoncourt has been brought in, this 70% Merlot/30% Cabernet Franc garage wine has begun to impress. This proprietor's other St.-Emilion estate is Chateau Bienfaisance.
