Winemaker Notes
Deep red color. An expressive nose with soft Merlot aromas of blackcurrant and black cherry, lightly toasted. The palate is velvety and fleshy with ripe powerful tannins. The finish is long well- rounded and hearty.
Blend: 75% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon

Under the same ownership as Chateau Latour-Martillac in Pessac-Leognan, this estate has produced a generous, rich wine, soft on the tannins and full on the black fruits. It is a lightly structured blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, aging well.

The 2021 Château Langlet is stylish and attractive. This wine excels with aromas and flavors of blackberries, subtle spice notes, and suggestions of oak. Enjoy it with a grilled, well-marbled ribeye. (Tasted: March 30, 2025, San Francisco, CA)
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.
Famous for both its red and white wines, Graves is a large region, extending 30 miles southeast of the city of Bordeaux, along the left bank of the Garonne River. Red wine producing vineyards cover well over three times as much area as the whites. In the late 1980s, the French created the separate appellation of Pessac-Léognan within the northern confines of Graves. It includes all of its most famous properties, and the southern suburbs of the city Bordeaux itself. In French "graves" is a term used to indicate gravelly soils.
