    Somm Note

    Winemaker Notes

    A deep red color with hints purple. Superbly intense and complex, the wine has notes of cassis, blackberry and blueberry fused harmoniously with notes of sweet spices like nutmeg and cloves.Aging in French oak barrels gives it vanilla, and sweet tobacco. A dense wine with tannin structure that combines the elegance andconcentration. The finish, thanks to the oak, is a wonderfulmixture of violet and forest fruit.

    Chateau St. Georges, France

    Once a walled fortress, Chateau St. Georges sits impressively atop a prominent hillside overlooking St. Emilion and Montagne. The property has been owned by the Desbois family for three generations. It has long produced the best known wine of the tiny satellite appellation St. Georges-St. Emilion. In response to the garagist movement of the late 1990’s, winemaker Petrus Desbois created a new wine, the Trilogie du Chateau St. Georges. Made in limited quantity entirely from the oldest Merlot vines on the property, the Trilogie is fermented and aged in new oak barriques. It is a heady, full-bodied wine of power and finesse that gives a contemporary expression to the exquisite Merlot produced on this estate.

    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.

    St-Émilion Wine

    Bordeaux, France

    Marked by its historic fortified village—perhaps the prettiest in all of Bordeaux, the St-Émilion appellation, along with its neighboring village of Pomerol, are leaders in quality on the Right Bank of Bordeaux. These Merlot-dominant red wines (complemented by various amounts of Cabernet Franc and/or Cabernet Sauvignon) remain some of the most admired and collected wines of the world.

    St-Émilion has the longest history in wine production in Bordeaux—longer than the Left Bank—dating back to an 8th century monk named Saint Émilion who became a hermit in one of the many limestone caves scattered throughout the area.

    Today St-Émilion is made up of hundreds of independent farmers dedicated to the same thing: growing Merlot and Cabernet Franc (and tiny amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon). While always roughly the same blend, the wines of St-Émilion vary considerably depending on the soil upon which they are grown—and the soils do vary considerably throughout the region.

    The chateaux with the highest classification (Premier Grand Cru Classés) are on gravel-rich soils or steep, clay-limestone hillsides. There are only four given the highest rank, called Premier Grand Cru Classés A (Chateau Cheval Blanc, Ausone, Angélus, Pavie) and 14 are Premier Grand Cru Classés B. Much of the rest of the vineyards in the appellation are on flatter land where the soils are a mix of gravel, sand and alluvial matter.

    Great wines from St-Émilion will be deep in color, and might have characteristics of blackberry liqueur, black raspberry, licorice, chocolate, grilled meat, earth or truffles. They will be bold, layered and lush.
