Sanctus is the luxury cuvee of Chateau La Bienfaisance, and the 2005 is unquestionably their finest effort to date. A 90% Merlot/10% Cabernet Franc blend fashioned from yields of 30 hectoliters per hectare, this blockbuster boasts an inky/purple color in addition to scents of graphite, blueberries, blackberries, cassis, and espresso roast. Dense, rich, and pure, with high, but sweet tannin, amazing levels of glycerin, and a 40 second finish, it should drink well young yet age effortlessly for 15-18 years. Wine Advocate #164 (Apr 2006)
