Sensory Description:
In the glass, the 2021 vintage shows a brilliant ruby hue. The bouquet opens with fragrant aromas of red cherries, plums, and violets, layered with subtle notes of cedar and spice from its élevage. On the palate, the wine is supple and refined, with fresh red fruit at its core, delicate tannins, and a mineral edge that reflects its gravelly soils. The finish is long and elegant, marked by balance, finesse, and quiet persistence.
Winemaker's Background:
Château Samion is a family domaine of just 1.2 hectares, lovingly tended by the Berrouet family since 1985. Jean-Claude Berrouet, celebrated worldwide for his stewardship of Château Pétrus, brings the same meticulous care and philosophy to Samion: working naturally in the vineyards and prioritizing purity of fruit and terroir. Today, alongside his son Jean-François, he continues to craft a single cuvée each year, produced in very limited quantities, embodying both heritage and authenticity.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve at 16–18 °C after 30 minutes of decanting to allow the wine’s aromas to fully unfold. Pair with Mediterranean cuisine, roasted lamb, duck breast, or earthy vegetable dishes such as mushroom risotto. Its elegance also makes it a beautiful companion for simple cheese boards with semi-hard varieties.
The 2021 Château Samion is a wine of poise and quiet authority, offering a taste of Bordeaux mastery at its most authentic. For those who value balance, purity, and a sense of lineage, this Merlot delivers remarkable refinement in every glass.
