Chateau Clos de Sarpe - St. Emilion 2020 (1.5L)

Chateau Clos de Sarpe Description

A jewel in the heart of Saint-Émilion / A “small” Grand Cru Classé ranked among the elite wines of the world. The Château Clos de Sarpe vineyard covers 3.7 ha in one block, planted on the clay-limestone Sarpe plateau on Asteria limestone, with a south, south-east exposure. Very consistent terroir at the heart of the greatest terroirs of the appellation.  An organic philosophy since 1923.

Blackberries, cassis, dried herbs and smoked paprika on the nose. It’s full-bodied with firm, velvety tannins. Focused and balanced, with a long, silky and seamless finish. Polished and classy. From organically grown grapes.

Wine Advocate: 94 Points

A decade ago, a vintage like this would have produced a monster at this address, which is naturally blessed with old vines and low yields, but vinification at low temperature, without any saignée, has delivered a remarkably elegant, suave 2020 Clos de Sarpe. Offering up aromas of dark berries, cherries, plums and sweet spices, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and fleshy, its deep core of fruit framed by sweet, powdery tannins. Sadly, there are only 8,000 bottles of this lovely Saint-Émilion. Best After 2025
