Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Chateau Peymouton 2012 has a wonderful deep ruby color. It reveals a rich and elegant nose with delicious aromas of blackcurrant and plum. On the palate the attack is powerful, with fine, silky tannins. There are beautiful notes of ripe red fruits and the subtle minerality on the finish contributes to the freshness of the wine.

Blend: 65% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon

    If I could spend my days in Paris and just writing away, I would. On the other hand, one cannot deny that Saint-Émilion is one of the world's most picturesque cities. Just thinking about a glass a wine, a baguette some strong fromage and being in the center of town is an undeniable wine lovers' image. When I tasted the superb 2012 Château Peymouton this picture came to mind. If you can't travel to France, just pop the cork on this wine and you will be instantly transported to one of most beautiful wine places in the world. Drinks well now.

    In this smooth and rich wine, tannins glide across the palate leaving ripe fruit in their wake. It is concentrated, full of berry fruits and juicy blackcurrants. Full and fruity, this delicious wine will develop quickly. Drink from 2017.

Chateau Peymouton Winery Image
The story of Peymouton began before the last classification of the Saint-Emilion appellation in 1996. On the 61 hectares planted with vines that belong to the estate, plots have been selected separately, in strict conformity with the requirements of its rank. 27 hectares are used for the production of the Grand Cru Classé Chateau Laroque, and the remaining 34 hectares are used for the production of Chateau Peymouton.

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.
