Sunday Magnum: Château Clos de Sarpe 2008

This Sunday's offering is magnums of Château Clos de Sarpe 2008.

Clos de Sarpe is an estate of small scale but serious intent, known for low yields and concentration. The 2008 vintage, challenging at first, has matured into a wine of poise: dark cherry, espresso, and cocoa layered over a still-present backbone. Owned by the Beyney family for generations, the estate has pursued a meticulous approach, including organic viticulture and hand harvesting. The result is a wine that reflects both terroir and craftsmanship. No theatrics, just intensity tempered by time—an articulate expression of St-Émilion with depth and individuality.
