Jahrgangsbericht

Bordeaux 2023 aus Expertensicht über ein reifes und früh trinkbares Jahr mit elegantem, schmeichelndem und seidigem Tannin, hohem Genussfaktor und saftigem Trinkfluss: Stephane Derenoncourt, Önologe, Consultant am rechten und linken Ufer, Winzer, eine lebende Legende in Bordeaux: „Überall waren die Tannine reif und von hoher Qualität. Die Trauben zeigten die volle technologische und phenolische Reife. Die Weine dieses Jahrgangs sind insgesamt harmonisch und dynamisch.“ *** Thomas Duclos, führender Berater und Önologe des rechten Ufers: „Bei dem Jahrgang 2023 haben wir ständig Neues entdeckt. Es würde mich nicht überraschen, wenn sich in ein paar Jahren einige 2023er den 2022er Weinen als überlegen erweisen. Der Jahrgang 2023 ist sehr schmeichelhaft: Wir haben eine angenehme Weichheit im Abgang, ohne Schwere, elegante Texturen, überraschend seidig...“ *** Axel Marchal, führender Önologie-Professor der Universität Bordeaux: „Trotz der extremen Wetterbedingungen sind in dem Jahrgang 2023 Weine mit einem guten Gleichgewicht und schönen Säurenoten entstanden. Die Weine sind sehr angenehm, zwar nicht von immenser Konzentration, aber köstlich, rund und fruchtig.“*** Michel Rolland, Önologe und Weingutsberater und ein Bordeaux Urgestein: “The aromatic potential was good, with excellent aromatic intensity and ripe fruit flavours. 2023 is a vintage without excess and opulence. Enjoyable, delicious and easy-to-drink!!

Suckling über: Chateau Clos de Sarpe Grand Cru Classe

An outstanding St.-Emilion—deep, polished and refined. Nicely hedonistic in nature, with fine spices, berries, espresso, dark chocolate and ripe plums. Concentrated and voluptuous, with silky tannins and a long, elegant finish. Drink or hold.,,

Jeb Dunnuck über: Chateau Clos de Sarpe Grand Cru Classe

A brilliant, uncompromising Saint-Emilion from a tiny parcel on the upper plateau, the 2023 Château Clos De Sarpe sports a deep purple hue and reveals gorgeous aromatics of crème de cassis, crushed stone, graphite, and spicy oak. Based on 78% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot, aged 13 months in 70% new French oak with the balance in second-fill barrels, it's full-bodied on the palate, with a rich, concentrated mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a big finish. This traditional, concentrated, powerfully styled Saint-Emilion needs at least 4-5 years of bottle age, although a decade would be better, and it will keep for 40-50 years. Drink 2031-2076.,,

The Wine Palate über: Chateau Clos de Sarpe Grand Cru Classe

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2023 Clos de Sarpe jumps from the glass with bold notes of juicy plums, mint tea, and black cherries, followed by hints of Indian spices, violets, and licorice. The full-bodied palate has a crisp backbone and fine-grained tannins supporting the bright black fruit flavors, finishing with a cheeky floral lift. The blend is 78% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot.

Galloni über: Chateau Clos de Sarpe Grand Cru Classe

The 2023 Clos de Sarpe is fabulous. Deep, rich and explosive, the 2023 possesses tremendous textural density and power to match. A burst of dark-toned fruit, chocolate, new leather, incense and dried herbs hits the palate. This builds beautifully through the layered mid-palate and into the explosive, punchy finish. Clos de Sarpe isn't quite as opulent as it used to be, but it remains one of the most distinctive wines in Saint-Émilion and Bordeaux, for that matter.

Jeff Leve über: Chateau Clos de Sarpe Grand Cru Classe

Their blend of oceanic, salty aromas with their smoky edge is completely unique to their terroir. From there, you find concentrated, salty-edged, sweet, ripe pit fruits, spice, and peppery notes that fill your palate as they expand and linger before reaching the long, chalky finish. Give it time to come together. It is worth the wait as this could develop into something as special as it is unique. Drink from 2029-2055.,

Neal Martin über: Chateau Clos de Sarpe Grand Cru Classe

The 2023 Clos de Sarpe continues a fine run of form. This is composed and refined, lovely, slightly earthy red fruit blossoming in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins, very pure and refined, with a finish that could teach a few of its fellow Saint-Émilion Grand Crus a thing or two about elegance and panache. Bravo.,,
