Introduction:
The 2022 Château Saint-Sulpice Bordeaux Rouge is a classic example of everyday Bordeaux done right. Offering a balance of ripe fruit, structure, and finesse, it’s an approachable and well-crafted red blend from one of the most consistent estates in the region.

Terrior:
Located in the northern part of Entre-Deux-Mers, just south of Saint-Émilion, the vineyards of Château Saint-Sulpice benefit from clay-limestone soils and a maritime climate. This combination of soil and climate promotes healthy vine growth and allows for slow, even ripening, yielding fruit with freshness, depth, and balance.

Appearance:
Brilliant garnet-red with youthful violet hues. Medium depth, clear and vibrant in the glass.

Nose:
Expressive and fruit-forward, with aromas of ripe red currants, blackberry, and plum. Hints of crushed violets, licorice, and a touch of spice lend subtle complexity.

Palate:
Medium-bodied and round, with juicy flavors of black cherry, raspberry, and dark plum. The tannins are soft and integrated, supporting the fruit without overwhelming it. A touch of black pepper and earthy undertones lend a savory edge.

Finish:
Smooth and supple, with lingering notes of red fruit, subtle spice, and a whisper of mineral freshness. The finish is clean, making this a versatile and highly drinkable Bordeaux.

Overall Impression:
A well-balanced, classic Bordeaux Rouge that offers both character and value. The 2022 vintage is generous and accessible in its youth, perfect for everyday enjoyment or pairing with a variety of dishes.
