Clos De Sarpe Grand Cru Classé Saint-Emilion, 2022

Clos de Sarpe Grand Cru Classé Saint-Émilion 2022 is a classically styled Bordeaux from one of the appellation’s most respected sites, combining the plushness of Merlot with the structure and aromatic lift of Cabernet Franc. As a Grand Cru Classé, it reflects both pedigree and precision, offering a refined expression of Saint-Émilion’s right-bank character.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the wine typically shows a deep garnet-purple hue with youthful intensity. The nose leans toward ripe black cherry, plum, and blackberry, layered with violet, cedar, graphite, and subtle hints of spice and earth. On the palate, it is expected to be supple yet structured, with ripe dark fruit, polished tannins, and a fresh mineral line that keeps the wine focused. The 2022 vintage should have the concentration to age gracefully, with a drinking window that can extend for many years as the fruit integrates and complexity builds.

Production
Clos de Sarpe comes from Saint-Émilion, where the combination of clay-limestone soils and carefully tended vines supports both depth and freshness. Merlot and Cabernet Franc are harvested for optimal ripeness, then vinified with the aim of preserving purity of fruit, finesse, and the estate’s signature sense of balance. Aging is likely carried out in oak to add complexity and polish without overwhelming the wine’s elegant core.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, truffle dishes, and mushroom-based cuisine. Serve at 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if drinking young to allow the aromatics and structure to open fully.
