Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

When young, the wine reveals aromas of red fruit. After being kept for 5 years, aromas of leather and cocoa are associated with the red fruits which are still present. The tannins become more silky, and the wine reveals all its complexity. La Grolet belongs to Côtes de Bourg wines, and there is a definite tannic background, but professionals' comments are unanimous: La Grolet reveals a subtlety which is rarely seen in wines from this appellation. Could it be the effect of the influential Biodynamism of the great wine-producing regions giving this particular quality to this wine?

Set in a landscape worthy of the "Petite Suisse Girondine", the vineyard extends over 28 hectares across a series of mainly craggy and south facing hills and terraces conditions that produce fully mature grapes of the highest quality.

Bordeaux Blends

View all products

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.

Extending south where the Gironde River forks into the Dordogne (and Garonne), Cotes de Bourg is a trusted source of concentrated and often, age-worthy Merlot. Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and Colombard create lively and elegant whites.
