Clos de Sarpe 2022 surges with concentrated dark and red fruit, framed by sweet spice, licorice and floral notes, all carried on a powerful yet surprisingly fresh limestone-driven spine. The palate is full-bodied and layered, with fine, sappy tannins and a long, deeply flavored finish that promises impressive evolution in bottle.

Clos de Sarpe is the tiny, family-run Grand Cru from a 3.7‑hectare, south‑east facing plateau in Saint‑Émilion planted predominantly to old Merlot with a smaller component of Cabernet Franc; its thin clay over limestone soils and very old vines give the wine an intense, mineral core, high natural acidity and exceptional age‑worthiness. Crafted with low yields and careful oak maturation, it shows concentrated black fruit, floral and chalky/graphite notes and a precise, energetic finish that reflects the Sarpe plateau’s limestone terroir.
