    As classic as it gets and pretty nice, the 2009 Chateau Baret is so good for the money! Shows excellent black fruit, sweet dust and attractive savor on the palate; long and firm on the palate, one can invite an order of steak and fries and be perfectly happy about this. Drinks really well now. (Best Served: 2013-2017)

Chateau Baret, France
Chateau Baret Winery Image
Formerly the property of the Lords of Baret, is in the early nineteenth century that the family Ballande, traders owners, bought the property.

Today, Chateau Baret is entirely surrounded by vines, like most Grand Cru Pessac-Leognan. The last twenty years the vineyard has been completely refurbished, as vat room and cellars. The Chateau's white and red wines, vinified by Professor Denis Bubourdieu and Mr. Christophe Ollivier reflect this great terroir of Pessac-Léognan.

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.

Pessac-Leognan Wine

Bordeaux, France

Recognized for its superior reds as well as whites, Pessac-Léognan on the Left Bank claims classified growths for both—making it quite unique in comparison to its neighboring Médoc properties.

Pessac’s Chateau Haut-Brion, the only first growth located outside of the Médoc, is said to have been the first to conceptualize fine red wine in Bordeaux back in the late 1600s. The estate, along with its high-esteemed neighbors, La Mission Haut-Brion, Les Carmes Haut-Brion, Pique-Caillou and Chateau Pape-Clément are today all but enveloped by the city of Bordeaux. The rest of the vineyards of Pessac-Léognan are in clearings of heavily forested area or abutting dense suburbs.

Arid sand and gravel on top of clay and limestone make the area unique and conducive to growing Sémillon and Sauvignon blanc as well as the grapes in the usual Left Bank red recipe: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and miniscule percentages of Petit Verdot and Malbec.

The best reds will show great force and finesse with inky blue and black fruit, mushroom, forest, tobacco, iodine and a smooth and intriguing texture.

Its best whites show complexity, longevity and no lack of exotic twists on citrus, tropical and stone fruit with pronounced floral and spice characteristics.
