Château Clos de Sarpe 2022 is a rich, structured Saint-Émilion with ripe dark fruit, warm spice, and a polished, velvety texture. It has a fresh mineral edge and enough acidity to keep the wine balanced despite its generosity. The style is powerful but not heavy, with fine-grained tannins and a long, mouthwatering finish. For readers who like classic Right Bank depth with a modern, concentrated feel, it will appeal in much the same way as a more muscular Saint-Émilion. Best served with roast lamb, beef short ribs, or mushroom tart.
