Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

"This shows crushed berry on the nose, with hints of sweet tobacco and cedar. Full- to medium-bodied, with soft tannins and a coffee, toasty oak and ripe fruit aftertaste. Subtle and interesting. Best after 2012."

Chateau de Cruzeau, France
Chateau de Cruzeau Winery Image
Chateau de Cruzeau, situated between Martillac and St Médard d'Eyrans, in the south of the Pessac-Léognan appellation in the Graves region, is an ancient estate whose origins are lost in the mists of time. It appears on the map drawn up by Belleyme in 1760.

Purchased in 1973 by André Lurton, and since entirely restored, the estate today comprises 101 hectares and produces wines of great finesse and surpassing elegance. The reds are matured one year, the whites (mainly Sauvignon) fermented and matured, in high quality oak barrels.

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.

Bordeaux, France

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.
