Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

I loved the 2022 Clos De Sarpe, a wonderfully pure, complex, seamless Saint-Emilion based on 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc. Its inky purple/ruby hue is followed by a brilliant, youthful nose of crème de cassis, spring flowers, crushed stone, and graphite. Medium to full-bodied and concentrated on the palate, it has ripe, polished tannins, wonderfully integrated oak, flawless balance, and a great finish. It offers pleasure today, yet this is built for the long haul as well and will ideally be given 5-7 years of bottle age and enjoyed over the following 2-3 decades.

About the Producer

About the Producer

The Clos de Sarpe estate embodies the warm and captivating expression of the great wines of Saint-Émilion. This family property, firmly rooted in the prestigious terroir of the Bordeaux Right Bank, was acquired by Jean Beyney at the beginning of the 20th century. Since then, several generations have followed, and today Jean-Guy Beyney and his wife continue to perpetuate viticulture that is respectful of the soil and the environment. Château Clos de Sarpe produces powerful and complex red wines—wines for aging, crafted to stand the test of time, much like its Grand Cru Classé de Saint-Émilion. There is also Charles de Sarpe, a second wine appreciated for its elegance and aromatic richness. Legend has it that the name "Sarpe" comes from an ancient word for a pruning hook, the traditional tool of the winemaker. Clos de Sarpe remains an independent, human-scale estate, founded on respect for the land and a constant pursuit of perfection for the pleasure of fine wine lovers. A beautiful expression of Saint-Émilion. Among the most sought-after labels are Château Clos de Sarpe and Charles de Sarpe, both useful benchmarks for understanding the identity of the estate.
