Ripe, with alluring damson plum and cherry preserve flavors that take the lead thanks to a judicious hand with the toast, while light floral, red licorice and singed balsam notes fill in the background. Supple finish. Best from 2019 through 2025. 3,458 cases made.

The 2015 La Bienfaisance de Château Sanctus is a superb second wine that deftly balances fruit and structure. A rush of dark cherry, orange peel, plum, rose petal and spice nuances make a strong opening statement. There is more than enough stuffing to support at least a handful of years in the cellar. All the elements are impeccably balanced. This is terrific for what it is.

Attractive violets, earthy dark plums and mulberries here lead to a palate with very plush yet supple raspberry and blackberry flavors, smooth, chocolatey tannins and a nicely focused finish. Try from 2021.
