Clos de Sarpe 2001 St. Emilion Grand Cru
"This may be the biggest, richest, most intensely concentrated wine of the vintage in St.-Emilion (much like it was in 2000). Sadly, there are only 900 cases of this unfined/unfiltered 85% Merlot / 15% Cabernet Sauvignon blend (made from yields of 23 hectoliters per hectare), most of which comes from 60-80-year old vines. Made in a huge, nectar of the vine-like style, it is incredibly pure and rich, but is very uncompromising. It appears to be a modern day version of a wine made in the 1800s. Enormously...

95+ points Robert Parker: "This may be the biggest, richest, most intensely concentrated wine of the vintage in St-Emilion...Made in a huge, nectar of the vine-like style, it is incredibly pure and rich, but is very uncompromising. It appears to be a modern day version of a wine made in the 1800s. Enormously concentrated, massive on the palate, with excruciatingly high levels of tannin, but also high levels of extract, it is meant for patient connoisseurs. It will have a fascinating evolution, lasting...

'A backward, muscular St. Emilion, the 2001 Clos de Sarpe is powerful, full-bodied, rustic, intense, and tannic
A beefy, larger than life effort, it will be drinkable between 2008-2025 (April-2002)' NOTE - This is a pre-arrival (futures) item. The 2001 Bordeaux futures will be bottled from May 2003 to July 2003 and sent here sometime between September 2003 and May 2004 (with few possible exceptions delayed further). When the wine arrives we will contact you (via US Postal...

94+ points Robert Parker: "As I have consistently written in the past, this limited production cuvee, from a 12-acre site that contains a parcel of extremely old vines, 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc, is meant to last three decades or more. Tasting like a liqueur of rocks interwoven with creme de cassis, espresso roast, toasty oak, and enormous levels of tannin, it is neither out of balance nor astringent. It is a concentrated, backward, impeccably balanced St.-Emilion made with an uncompromising...

'An intriguing St. Emilion, this limited production (1000 cases) offering from Monsieur Beyney could turn out even better than my score indicates. A monster effort, it is one of the most extracted and powerful St. Emilions of the vintage. A blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc produced from tiny yields of 25 hectoliters per hectare, the 2000 will be bottled with neither fining nor filtrations. It displays an opaque plum/purple color as well as a gorgeous, earthy...

- When it comes to wine, France stands alone. No other country can beat it in terms of quality and diversity. And while many of its Region, Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne most obviously, produce wine as rare, as sought-after and nearly as expensive as gold, there are just as many obscurities and values to be had from little known appellations throughout the country. To learn everything there is to know about French wine would take a lifetime. To understand and appreciate French wine, one only has...
