WINEMAKER

Ferme de la sansonniere

The philosophy remains beautifully uncompromising. The vineyards are farmed biodynamically, grapes are harvested by hand, and the wines are made with minimal intervention. Gentle pressing, long ageing in used barrels and only tiny amounts of sulphur allow the character of the fruit and terroir to shine through.

What makes these wines so special is their ability to combine incredible concentration with freshness and energy. They are generous without being heavy, powerful without losing elegance, and often need a little patience to reveal their full potential.

For me, Sansonnière is one of those domaines that reminds us why we fell in love with wine in the first place. And with Martial now writing the next chapter, the story is far from over.

Today, father and son work closely side by side, and you can feel it in the wines: nothing here is rushed, forced, or overthought. Farming always comes first, cellar work remains deliberately minimal, and every decision serves clarity rather than control. The wines are precise yet generous, structured but never rigid, marked by that unmistakable Sansonnière signature — quiet intensity, natural harmony, and a sense of life that unfolds slowly in the glass. These are not wines that chase attention. They reward patience, trust, and curiosity!
