Chateau Clos de Sarpe has been owned by the Beyney family since 1923. Up to 70% of the 3.7 hectares of vineyards are old vines over 60 years old. It is one of the few wineries in Saint Emilion on the right bank of Bordeaux with old vines. It is also one of the Saint Emilion Grand Cru.

History

The winery was founded by A. DUCARPE in 1897, when the winery was called Cru de Sarpe/Clos de Sarpe. In 1905, the winery was sold to Baron du Foussat de Bogeron, who merged the winery and another vineyard (Badette) into a larger winery. Then in 1923 the winery was bought by the family. The current owner is Jean Guy, the third generation of the family. He insists on using traditional methods to make wine and pays attention to the environmental protection of the vineyard. His son Charles-Antoine BEYNEY and niece Maylis MARCENAT are part of the winery's management team.

Terroir

The vineyard covers 3.7 hectares with south/southeast orientation. The soil contains a large amount of limestone, clay and sandstone. This mixed soil is called molasses du Fronsadais, which can be traced back to the Oligocene epoch at the earliest, about 2.5 million years ago. Among them, limestone plays an important role in supplying water, draining water when it is wet, and providing moisture when it is dry. To allow the vines to get enough water on a regular basis. The unique terroir conditions allow the grapes to maintain their freshness, which is very suitable for growing Merlot.

As early as 1923, the winery has implemented organic vineyard management, including not using any pesticides and herbicides. And the waste vines produced by pruning the vines every year are turned into natural fertilizers and put back into the soil.
