Chateau Saint-Sulpice 2006

Grape Type: 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc.

Chateau Saint Sulpice is a 100-acre estate situated in a village of the same name in the northern section of Entre-Deux-Mers, just south of St. Emilion and 14 miles northeast of Bordeaux. The property is planted mainly with Merlot and is very carefully tended by owner-winemaker Pierre Duberge and his son Christophe. Their cellar is spotless and recently modernized to include a battery of stainless steel tanks.

The wine is given a classical vinification for a Bordeaux red: complete destemming, fermentation in new temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for 8 days, and aging in vats for several months before bottling. This approach maximizes the natural fruit qualities.

The 2005 vintage produced excellent, healthy fruit and the wines are characterized by extremely ripe, powerful, and extracted wines with structured tannins. Pierre and Christophe Duberge are the winemaking team at the estate. Pierre has said unequivocally the 2005 vintage is "the best wine we have made in 20 years."

The wine shows lots of red-fruit aromas. It is concentrated, full and dense in the mouth, with silky tannins and a supple finish.
