2017 Château Clos de Sarpe

Sale price $70.00 | In Stock Ships from our French cellar (Delivery in 4-10 days) | Drink or Cellar

Limestone’s mineral imprint is unmistakable in 2019 Château Clos de Sarpe, a bold and structured Saint-Émilion from an exceptional vintage. Ripe blackberry, cassis, and violet aromas introduce a full-bodied palate of dark fruit, cocoa, and crushed stone. Firm tannins and vibrant acidity create a wine of precision and aging potential, capturing the vintage’s ripeness while retaining balance.

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2017 Clos de Sarpe is profoundly scented of preserved plums, blackberry pie and blueberry coulis with hints of dark chocolate, licorice, hoisin and fertile loam. Full-bodied, rich and decadently spicy in the mouth, it has a plush texture and a very long, spicy finish. The blend is 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc and it was aged for 13 months in 60% new and 40% second fill French oak barrels.

From a vintage compared to 1999 by the estate, 2017 Chateau Clos De Sarpe comes from Jean Guy Beyney’s tiny 3.70-hectare estate which is located just northeast of the town of Saint-Emilion. A blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc that was brought up in 60% new barrels, it has a beautiful perfume of creme de cassis, crushed rocks, sappy herbs, and white flowers. This is a rich, concentrated 2017 with loads of richness and fleshy, medium to full body, ripe tannins, and a kiss of background oak. Do your best to hide bottles for 5-7 years, and it will evolve for two decades or more.

A vibrant and ripe St.-Emilion with red and dark plums, tobacco and mushrooms, leading to a smooth, juicy and supple palate that offers good drinking early on. Extremely attractive and drinkable now, but better in 2021.
