2022 Chateau Saint Sulpice Bordeaux Rouge

A tried-and-true Bordeaux that never disappoints, Chateau St. Sulpice is made of about two-thirds Merlot with  Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc making up the balance. Spicy and upfront with its cherry and roasted plum aromas, there is nice weight and balance.

Made from a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec, the Bordeaux Red is typically fragrant, soft, and well balanced. A superior example of its appellation. 75% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Malbec. This wine is vinified as if it were a “classified growth”: Each parcel and grape variety is vinified separately. Traditional Bordeaux vinification in temperature controlled stainless steel vats. Alcoholic fermentation for 8 to 10 days at 82 degrees Fahrenheit. Maceration for 3 weeks followed by ageing in French barrels for 12 months before bottling. This approach emphasizes the natural red fruit characters.
