    Chateau Haut Gay, France
    Meaning “high passage” in old French, Haut Gay is situated on the right bank of the Dordogne river in the commune of Lalande de Fronsac. The vines lie on three gentle hills of clay-limestone soil profiles which suite the Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon so well. The classic Bordeaux grape trinity is very much at home here.

    A selective approach is taken in the vineyards to ensure low yields and a high quality of grapes at harvest. The labor intensive work of green harvesting, leaf thinning and removal of excess shoots is practiced diligently.

    To maximize flavor and aromatic potential, the selected grapes are left whole to begin their maceration in stainless steel vats. The final result is a finely structured wine, with an accessible fruitiness and a balanced integration of oak. Haut Gay is enjoyed from its second year onwards.

    One of the world’s most classic and popular styles of red wine, Bordeaux-inspired blends have spread from their homeland in France to nearly every corner of the New World. Typically based on either Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot and supported by Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot, the best of these are densely hued, fragrant, full of fruit and boast a structure that begs for cellar time. Somm Secret—Blends from Bordeaux are generally earthier compared to those from the New World, which tend to be fruit-dominant.

    Cotes de Castillon Wine

    Bordeaux, France

    Though the region is larger than many of its Right Bank neighbors, it is one that consistently produces high quality, well-valued red wines. In fact, Cotes de Castillon can almost be considered a geographical eastern extension of St. Emilion, producing similarly-fashioned reds based on Merlot.

    Vineyards in the region’s clay, limestone and sandstone soils produce sturdy red wines. On alluvial terraces, in vineyards closer to the Dordogne River, wines tend to be more supple and fruity. In either case, a great Cotes de Castillon red will be bursting with raspberry, plum and blueberry, have an enticing bouquet of dried flowers and a finish that is plush and opulent.
