GO!! $32, 94 points, 57% OFF??! Our recent St.-Émilion container is getting emptied faster than you can say “la joie de vivre”!!! Incredible ‘22 HAUT-SARPE in the house!

Yikes!! The new releases rolling in are just confirming what we’ve been feeling and tasting for the last few years…Bordeaux is on a massive qualitative roll and just NAILING it since 2018 or so. The purity, the melodic symphonics (a la a great Queen song), the sheer BEAUTY is only eclipsed by our ROCKING, unbeatable, jaw-hanging DEALS!! We should’ve bought more!!

“...a rich, full-bodied Saint-Émilion that has a round, lush mouthfeel, velvety tannins, and outstanding length. It’s a big, rich, almost fruit bomb-styled Saint-Émilion that nevertheless hangs onto a solid sense of minerality and classic style.” -Jeb Dunnuck

“So, what do YOU guys think,” you ask?? Check out the slew of critical reviews below, of course, but this balanced, medium-bodied charmer is brimming with a huge spectrum of spices, red and blue berries, orange zest (now, you KNOW we love a wine that has a sweet citrus note!), and tobacco leaf, and plenty of cool crushed stone, pencil lead-type Bordeaux signature, to boot. Truffles, mint, clove all swirl around in it, too — AHHH! So good! So insanely priced!! Long, fresh finish, terrific mid-palate, wonderful with food (we had a bottle with some excellent hard cheeses and speck last night...), and simply JUST FEELS RIGHT. You’ll see!! Trust your friendly wine merchant!!

We can credit the Janoueix family (who has owned it since 1930) with their addition of the brilliant winemaking consultant Thomas Duclos (Ausone, Cheval Blanc, Troplong Mondot…) for the critical love, and its excellent position on the limestone plateau of St.-Émilion, although this lovely chateau has been a keep-it-to-yourself fave among the Bordelaise for CENTURIES.

As mentioned…we didn’t get enough. Grab it while it’s in the warehouse! We’re OUT!

"Intensely concentrated fruit aromas on the nose, smells vivid and heady. Soft and juicy, this is calm and collected, presenting a fresh and lifted frame with strawberries, cherries and cranberries. It has a crispness to it with slightly minty edges as well as a sense of easy enjoyment. Refined and focused, this has been well made and is great to drink even now. Excellent. One to seek out for immediate pleasure." -Decanter

"The 2022 Château Haut Sarpe checks in as 69% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon. It has a tight, slightly reductive nose of black cherry liqueur, roasted herbs, chocolate, and spicy wood. This carries to a rich, full-bodied Saint-Emilion that has a round, lush mouthfeel, velvety tannins, and outstanding length. It's a big, rich, almost fruit bomb-styled Saint-Emilion that nevertheless hangs onto a solid sense of minerality and classic style." -Jeb Dunnuck

"Deep dark ruby, opaque core, purple reflections, discreet brightening on the rim. Dark wild berries, ripe plums, candied orange zest, a hint of cloves. Deep and chocolatey, fine, supporting tannins, fruity finish, mineral. Already accessible, a nicely textured food wine." -Falstaff
92-94 POINTS
"The 2022 Haut-Sarpe is a potent Saint-Émilion. There's tremendous depth here, but also a good deal of oak, all of which the wine can handle. Espresso, licorice, chocolate and spice meld into a core of layered dark black fruit. This opulent Saint-Émilion won't be for everyone, but it certainly has plenty of character." -Vinous
89-92 POINTS
"The 2022 Haut Sarpe exhibits notes of dark berries, licorice and plums, framed by toasty new oak, followed by a medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy palate built around powdery tannins and lively acids." -Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
