Château de Sarpe Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Tinto 2019

Château de Sarpe Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Tinto 2019 is a red Bordeaux, France, widely praised for its classic structure, intense mineral profile and organic farming. The 2019 vintage enjoyed exceptional weather in the region, resulting in a very balanced, elegant wine of excellent precision.

The official review by the team at Robert Parker (Wine Advocate) for Château de Sarpe 2019 shows a wine marked by elegance and precision.

Deep garnet-purple, it shows an expressive aromatic profile, with notes of black cherries, blackberries and wild plums, complemented by delicate nuances of violets, damp earth and a subtle touch of black truffle.

On the palate it's medium to full-bodied, with a refined, harmonious texture supported by pure layers of black fruit. The tannins stand out for their finesse and chalky character, reflecting the region's terroir. Well-integrated acidity brings freshness and extends the persistent, markedly mineral finish.

The critic also highlights the wine's remarkable balance, largely due to the Château's privileged position on the clay-limestone plateau of Saint-Émilion.

The Wine Independent (94 pts): Noted a "deep garnet-purple" colour and aromas of "cedar and forest floor", with a "backbone of lively acidity", "velvety, soft tannins" and a "long, spicy finish".

Decanter (92 pts): Highlighted a "perfumed, high-toned nose" and a "juicy quality" and "minerality", describing it as "smooth and supple".
