Exploring the Elegance of Grand Cru Saint-Émilion – A Deep Dive into Right Bank Bordeaux Wines In this episode, we uncork the world of Bordeaux wines, diving deep into the prestigious Grand Cru Saint-Émilion and the acclaimed Château Figeac. Join us as we explore the right bank of Bordeaux—its terroir, centuries-old wine history, and how it compares to the left bank. With expert tasting notes, food pairing tips, and insights from a Master Sommelier, we examine the nuances of wine characteristics and the complexities of wine pricing in both auction and restaurant settings. Sponsors: - RIEDEL Veritas Cabernet: https://www.riedel.com/en-au/shop/veritas/cabernet-merlot-644900098 - Buy the wine, drink the wine where we get ours: Grays.com https://www.grays.com/search/wine Socials: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@gotsommepodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gotsomme Top Takeaways: Château Figeac is a celebrated Grand Cru wine from Saint-Émilion, known for its elegance and age-worthiness. The right bank of Bordeaux is home to smaller, artisan producers. Saint-Émilion boasts over 2,000 years of continuous winemaking history. Figeac's gravel-rich terroir makes it ideal for Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2011 vintage of Château Figeac is underrated and offers excellent value. There are notable style differences between wines from the right bank and left bank. Proper food pairings can significantly elevate the wine tasting experience. Blind tasting reveals the challenge of distinguishing right vs left bank Bordeaux. Wine pricing fluctuates widely between auctions, restaurants, and retail. The elegance and complexity of Bordeaux wines shine best when enjoyed in a dining setting.

Aaron Pott is a true legend in wine country. Starting his career at newton Vineyards in Napa, he left the U.S. for a position as winemaker at Château Troplong-Mondot, a Premier Grand Cru Classé in Saint-Émilion, France. Aaron then moved to Château Troplong- Mondont after a year to become director at Château La Tour Figeac, a Grand Cru Classé located in Saint-Emilion. He spent five years there and, in the process, earned a degree in Viticulture from the Université de Bourgogne in Dijon, France. Aaron eventually returned to Napa and accepted the position of head winemaker in charge of international brands for Beringer before taking over as general manager and winemaker at Quintessa in 2004. After buying a piece of property on Mt. Veeder, Aaron and his wife Claire started Pott Wines, making Zinfandel, Syrah, Cabernet Franc and Grenache. He continues to consult for numerous wineries, when he's not surfing or watching soccer. All the wines are stellar, but that Zinfandel and Cabernet Franc are still on my mind.

A Toast to Tradition and Innovation    Paul K: Welcome to another episode of "Wine Talks"! Today, we're popping the cork on a conversation that's rich in history and flavor with the illustrious Veronique Sanders, director and president of Chateau Haut Bailly in the Pessac Leognon district.   Veronique: Thank you, Paul! I'm excited to share our journey and passion with your listeners.   Paul K kicks things off by reminiscing about the days of his father's involvement in the wine business. He talks about the indispensable role of marketing and personal interaction, essentials that have defined the industry for decades. Paul K: The wine industry has seen so many changes, especially with the rise and fall of wine consumption among younger generations. Marketing and genuine connections have always been key, but it's challenging when people opt for drinks filled with artificial ingredients. Veronique shares a delightful story about serving wine at an elaborate dinner at Versailles, painting a picture of elegance and heritage. Veronique: It was truly an honor to serve our wine at Versailles. Our wine, like the castle, has a storied past. We pour our hearts into every bottle, and it's rewarding to share that passion. Paul K shifts the subject to the changing palate of today's wine drinkers. They both explore the current preference for structured, complex, and terroir-driven wines. Veronique: Great wines should evoke a unanimous emotional response. It's less about tasting notes and more about the personal connection, the experience. Paul K agrees, emphasizing the emotional ties and memories that a truly great wine can inspire. They mention Bordeaux's classifications, with a special nod to the distinctiveness of the Saint Emilion classification. In a moment that brings together the past and the future, Veronique recounts the legacy and mission of Chateau aux Bailly while highlighting her son's involvement in the family tradition. Veronique: Winemaking is not just a profession; it's a mission driven by passion. It's about serving the terroir and passing it down to the next generation. My son is already deeply involved, and it's heartwarming to see his enthusiasm. They touch on the importance of respecting the character of the appellation de with strict French rules, contrasting it with the more varied production methods observed elsewhere. Paul K: It's interesting to see the balance between maintaining tradition and adapting to market demands, especially with the Internet reshaping how we buy and sell wine. Veronique chimes in, noting the advancement of technology and its impact, yet emphasizing that the heart of winemaking—nature—remains untamed and unpredictable. Veronique: Nature decides the outcome. It's a humbling process, but it's also what makes winemaking so beautiful. The episode rounds off with a discussion on the increasing presence of women in the wine industry, highlighting how women like Veronique are making significant strides. As they bid farewell, Paul K invites Veronique to visit LA, leaving listeners with a hearty invitation to subscribe to "Wine Talks with Paul Kalemkiarian" Paul K: Remember, join us next time for more stories from the world of wine. Cheers! Veronique: À bientôt! And with that, another vibrant chapter in the book of wine is shared, adorned with passion, history, and an ever-evolving future.

Pour ce nouvel épisode du Wine Makers Show, j'ai le plaisir de partir à la rencontre de Jean-Claude Berrouet. Il m'avait été recommandé par Gérard Bertrand, et une chose est sûre : je n'ai pas été déçu. Au cours de ce riche échange, nous avons abordé de nombreux sujets : la découverte du vin pour Jean-Claude, son travail avec les Moueix, Petrus bien sûr, sa vision du vin et tant d'autres choses. J'espère que vous prendrez beaucoup de plaisir à écouter cette interview qui nous replonge dans l'évolution du vin au cours des 50 dernières années. Bonne écoute !

This time of year, we like to roll out some of our big bottles for entertaining at dinner.  If Bordeaux comes to mind Hugh thinks we ought to try the region known as Saint Emilion.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jean Cao, oenologist, is the special guest on today's show after a global news review with Sasha Kehoe. News Review After a few weeks away it's great to be back in the studio with a long-overdue look-back at the week's / the summer's news with Sasha Kehoe. And it's been a busy summer! Once more, the blond-one, whose name I won't mention here, has his mug-shot across most news feeds, and many more besides too. Our news review covers everything from the Prigozhin plane crash in Russia to the baby serial killer Lucy Letby in the UK. Wildfires seem to be another consistent summer story in recent years: Hawaii, of course, plus much of southern Europe. Did you watch the cable car rescue in Pakistan? Or the Spain - England World Cup Final? Back home to Luxembourg, the Schueberfouer begins again, and election season starts with some very young candidates indeed. Oenology with Jean Cao I had never heard of oenology until I met Jean Cao. Originally from Mexico, Jean trained as a chemical engineer focussing on organic and food chemistry at UDLA, and then specialising in fermentation and distillation processes. After some internships in the wine regions of Mexico, Jean moved to France to complete a Masters degree in viticulture-agronomy in Montpellier, followed by another Masters in oenology in Bordeaux. He is currently specialising in pedology and soil analysis. Jean has worked all over the world - Mexico, South Africa, US, and in the famous French wine-making regions of Saint-Emilion, Medoc-Pauillac, Châteauneuf du Pape and the Languedoc. Here in Luxembourg, Jean Cao is a consultant oenologist for the Independent winemakers professional organisation OPVI, Organisation Professionnelle des Vigerons Indépendants, since 2018. From optimal plant cultivation, all the way through to bottling, there are many moments where precision and expertise can help define the outcome for the best potential wines. Jean's role requires the discernment of latent potential inherent within specific vineyard plots, when precisely to harvest, ensuring the fermentation process goes smoothly, which wines to blend in which way, and finally the bottling process. These steps require the rigour of complex science and nature, plus the uncontrollable factors such as climate and weather. Perhaps the best word to sum up the art of his work is 'terroir'.

SAMEDI 17 DÉCEMBRE 2022  Christophe Cordier - Domaine Cordier Situé sur le village de Fuissé, au cœur des plus beaux terroirs du Mâconnais, le domaine Cordier a été fondé en 1945. C'est aujourd'hui Christophe qui est à la tête du domaine familial de 32 hectares répartis sur plus de 120 parcelles. Une exceptionnelle mosaïque de vignes et de terroirs, qui sont une véritable richesse pour Christophe qui prend plaisir à travailler cette diversité. Vigneron passionné, il exploite ses sols selon leur besoin, comme si chaque parcelle était un défi. À travers ses vins, Christophe cherche à procurer des émotions et à en ressortir l'identité du terroir. Les vignes du Domaine Cordier sont travaillées dans le pur respect de l'environnement et dans la recherche permanente de l'excellence.   Bertrand Gourdon - Les 3 Compères   C'est ici l'histoire de trois amis, qui ont décidé de bouleverser les codes des appellations traditionnelles pour créer un grand Vin de France ! L'idée de « Les 3 Compères » est de proposer chaque année un vin unique assemblé à partir des grands terroirs français. Le trio de choc a sillonné la France entière pour expliquer leur concept auprès des vignerons et sélectionner les meilleures barriques pour concevoir leur vin d'assemblage. Pour cette première collection, millésimée 2020, 1824 bouteilles qui ont été produites. Une série à faible tirage pour cette cuvée éphémère qui ne sera jamais renouvelée. La Collection n°1 est issu d'un assemblage d'une sélection de crus d'exception : Syrah déclassées de Côte-Rôtie, Merlot déclassés de Saint-Emilion grand cru, Grenache rouge d'altitude du Languedoc et une touche de Grenache Blanc. A travers cette démarche, Bertrand a la volonté de mettre en avoir la beauté des terroirs de France.

The difference between old-world and new-world wineries is embedded in the story of Chateau Trianon. The Hebrard family was deeply tied to the famed Cheval Blanc in Saint Emillion but was forced to sell under certain legal ties to the property.  This is real Bordeaux history. Dominque Hebrard searched for the perfect replacement for his love of wine and through discreet connections, uncovered Chateau Trianon. What is so special? This is the property that Louis the XIV called "refuge privé" (private refuge) as it was an homage to Castle Versailles. Timothée Hebrard is next in line and takes his role seriously as the heir apparent to what is a historical property in the premium district of Saint Emilion.  The wines were incredibly coaxing and with a few more vintages under their belt, these wines will be exquisite.  

On this very special episode of The Grape Nation, Sam sits down with Harold Langlais of Château Le Puy, live from Raw Wine 2022 in Queens. Sam and Harold discuss the history of Le Puy, their growing practices, and how they stand out from other natural wine makers.Château Le Puy lies on 54 hectares in three parcels in Saint Cibard, France, on the same rock plateau as Pomerol and Saint-Emilion, a place known in ancient times as “The Plateau of the Wonders” because of the excellence of its wines.Heritage Radio Network is a listener supported nonprofit podcast network.

Sémillon used to be the most planted white grape in the world. From its native home in France to Australia, Chile, South Africa, Argentina, and beyond, it was planted en masse to pump out large quantities of flavorless bulk white wine. The problem was that Sémillon doesn't cooperate when it's forced to high yields. It loses acidity and it lacks flavor unlike some other grapes that can still muster some umph when over-cropped (Chenin blanc, Sauvignon blanc, Colombard, to name three).  For this reason, plantings were replaced and the grape became unpopular. Photo: Sémillon, Bordeaux.com  Today it is grown in limited quantities but two distinct areas– Sauternes/Barsac and Pessac-Leognan in Bordeaux and the Hunter Valley of Australia --  create wines that are incredibly specific and unique. Demand and fascination with these iconic wines means that cultivation of this grape is not doomed!   Here are the show notes: The origins of the grape Although we don't know the parentage, we do know the grape is from southwestern France. It is likely from Bordeaux Until the 1700s, producers were only using the grape in Sauternes (at this point it was already a sweet wine, as records from 1717-1736 at the local abbey show) Later, it was found in St-Emilion, from which it derives its name. The name most likely comes from Selejun – the local pronunciation of Saint-Emilion     Sémillon in the vineyard A thick-skinned grape, part of the reason it was so widely planted was that this feature makes Sémillon pretty resistant to molds and mildews (although, thankfully not botrytis). This feature of the grape helps make it easy to grow and it can be quite vigorous, which is why it was so used and abused in the past! The grape buds later and ripens earlier than its blending partner, Sauvignon blanc, and this short growing window means it is not as susceptible to spring or autumn frosts The grape is versatile on soil types – it can thrive on gravel, calcareous clay, sand, and other types making it incredibly adaptable Fully ripe Sémillon will have big yellow to nearly copper colored berries Low yields are best Château d'Yquem, the most famous Sauternes producer in the world, allegedly makes one glass per vine. The rest of Sauternes yields about 24hl/ha, and lower quality regions yield 80 -100 hl/ha. Hunter Valley in Australia – 60 hl/ha **M.C. Ice and I fully acknowledge that we have no idea what a hl/ha looks like but we use the numbers for comparison sake – ratios are still helpful, right? ** Photo: Australian Semillon, courtesy Wine Australia Climate can vary enormously and the grape can still perform: In Sauternes, special climate conditions must exist (we discuss later) Top dry white areas of Graves and Pessac-Leognan have warmer sites for Sémillon, which allows it to get fully ripe, adding lushness to the blend with Sauvignon blanc In Hunter valley, humidity with tropical storms are best! Because the area has strong cloud cover there is less direct sun so it slows photosynthesis, despite heat. The humid afternoons somehow help build acidity. The light, sandy soils that contain some loam and iron have good drainage, during rain     We discuss the growing regions for most of the remaining part of the show France: Bordeaux France grows more Sémillon than any other country and most of the plantings are in Bordeaux, specifically – Graves, Pessac-Leognan, and Sauternes 50 or so years ago, half the production in Bordeaux was white, mostly from Semillon, which traditionally made up 4/5 of any white wine in the area, sweet or white, but now has taken a backseat to Sauvignon Blanc, which offers more acidity to the wine in a warming climate  Photo: Bordeaux vineyard, Getty Images via Canva subscription   Sauternes, Barsac In Sauternes, Barsac (please see episode 369 for more info) and the sweet appellations of Cadillac, Ste Croix du Mont, Loupiac, and Cerons Sémillon is always partnered with Sauvignon blanc, which also receives botrytis well but maintains its acidity. Wines are hand harvested, with several passes through the vineyard to get the right level of botrytis, which can be patchy and can be grey rot if it developed poorly on the grapes Botrytis is a fungus that affects the grapes right when the fruit forms. It concentrates sugar and creates honeyed, apricot, mango flavors with a viscous mouthfeel from the glycerol it produces. Alcohol levels range in the region -- the minimum in Sauternes is 13% but it can well over 20% ABV For botrytis to form, a region needs foggy nights and early morning, followed by warm and sunny days. This is essential in the autumn, and is a very consistent weather pattern in the sweet wine regions of Bordeaux, which botrytized wine can be made nearly every year These wines are aged for long periods in oak barrels Some, like Chateau Climens in Barsac, are 100% Sémillon   Dry white appellations In Graves and the lighter, sandier regions of Pessac-Leognan, Sémillon is often the biggest percentage of the blend. The best versions – Haut-Brion Blanc and La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc (different Châteaux, owned by the same group = confusing, I know) – are hundreds of dollars a bottle and often have Sémillon as the main component, but it's vintage dependent In Pessac-Leognan, 25% of blend must be Sauvignon Blanc, and the trend is to favor that grape over Sémillon both because it's easier to grow, and because it has acidity. From good producers, these wines can age for decades The grape can be in Côtes de Bordeaux blancs and in basic Bordeaux blanc from better producers Sémillon adds fullness to the texture and when it is aged in oak (as is the case with Sauternes, Barsac and in Graves and Pessac-Leognan), it can have peach, mango, nuts, and toast flavors, which contrast well with Sauvignon blanc's more “green” aromas. If Sémillon is not aged in oak, it can have citrus, grass, notes without much flavor. When it is fully ripe and aged in oak, it is fat in texture with lemon and tropical fruit and has lower acidity.   Other places in France Sémillon grows... Southwest France has the sweet wine of Monbazillac (like Sauternes) and dry white of Bergerac Provence and the Languedoc, but not of any quality     Australia Makes the most distinctive dry white in Australia and was first planted in the Hunter Valley where it gained popularity for its ease to grow, high yields, and resistance to disease It went from being the workhorse grape in the 1980s, to accounting for only 3.1% of the total Australian crush today More than half of Australia's Semillon comes from the bulk New South Wales region of Riverina Hunter Valley in New South Wales The warm, humid climate of the Hunter Valley isn't conducive to most grapes but Semillon (no accent on the “e” in Australia!) changes from a grassy, lemony acidic wine into a dark yellow, nutty, honey and straw-scented viscous wine if grown and made under certain conditions To achieve this, growers pick early, before the summer rains and the grapes have very high acidity. Alcohol levels are around 10-11% ABV, and most of the wine spends no time in oak for fermentation nor for aging – it is put in stainless, fermented cold, and bottled. Wines in their youth are like Sauvignon blanc – citrus, green herbs, and straw flavors persist, with high acidity. After 5-10 years of storage the wine darkens and tastes like honey, toasted, grilled nuts and seems like it has been in an oak barrel (hasn't) – a total odd ball. Although the grapes can have some botrytis, this phenomenon is just a result of the rainy, tropical growing conditions To learn more about Hunter Valley and the Semillon, listen to ep 309, with the amazing Connie Paur Griffiths of Tranquil Vale, an excellent small producer located there Tyrells is the famous producer here (especially Vat 1 Semillon). Also Brokenwood, Silkman, Andrew Thomas    Photo: Hunter Valley Vineyard, credit Wine Australia   Western Australia: Margaret River: Popular for blends of Semillon and Sauvignon blanc You will see Semillon-Sauvignon Blanc or Sauvignon Blanc-Semillon on the bottle, the first name indicates which grape dominates the blend These wines can be made in a juicy, fruit style with no oak, or oak fermented and/or oak matured to last longer Producers: Vasse Felix, Cullen, Cape Mentelle, Leeuwin   South Australia Adelaide Hills: Wines are like white Bordeaux in that they are picked early and blended with Sauvignon Blanc to avoid oiliness, too much ripeness. They sometimes use oak, sometimes not. Charlotte Dalton is the big producer here. Barossa: Sometimes makes varietal versions that show the purity of the grape, sometimes use big oak and can be toasty and Chardonnay-esque. Producers: Torbreck, Peter Lehmann, Henschke in Eden Valley Clare Valley: Can be more refined than Barossa but still peachy with apple and citrus and fuller body. Oak influence is common. Producers: Mount Harrocks, Pauletts Riverina: Is notorious for low quality bulk wine but a pocket of it develops botrytis easily and makes high quality sweet wines: McWilliams, De Bortoli     New Zealand has a small amount of Semillon in Marlborough, Hawkes Bay, and Gisbourne   South Africa Semillon was once so important it was called “greengrape” because of its bring green foliage By 1822, 93% of the vineyard land planted was Semillon. Then it was commonly just called “wine grape” but by the 1900s it began its sharp decline It is grown now in Stellenbosch, Swartland, and Franschhoek. Some areas have older bush vines. Producers like: Cederberg, Steenberg, Vergelegen , Mullineux are using more Semillon in blends with Sauvignon Blanc (some sweet, some dry versions)   United States   California Barely uses Semillon but vines that were imported in the 1880s to the Livermore Valley in northern California, were allegedly from Château d'Yquem Vines that live in the Monte Rosso vineyard in Sonoma date from 1886 and can make excellent wines. Morgon is an example Sierra Foothills: Some here, notably my friend Lorenzo Muslia of Andis makes the Bill Dillian Semillon that has great acidity but silkiness and hay, herb, and melon notes (for the podcast with Lorenzo click here) Photo: Andis Wines   Washington State Big decline in plantings and they usually a blend with Sauvignon Blanc Popular from Walla Walla producers: L'Ecole 41 – lemon curd, nut and toast notes with a pretty full body, Amavi (episode with Amavi here) – slightly more acidic and less full with more citrus and grass notes but still with a rich body     Others countries that use Sémilllon Chile: Because of the Bordeaux link, has Semillon and usually uses it for blends or Sauternes-like sweet wines. Semillon used be 75% of white vines in Chile! Argentina, Uruguay have some nice examples Canada     Food Pairing Ideas Sauternes/dessert styles: blue (Roquefort) cheese, foie gras, scallops, fruit based-dessert Lighter styles: Oysters, shellfish, white fish or chicken dishes with citrus or herbal sauces or creamy sauces, salads, goat and sheep's milk cheeses _____________________________________________ Research Sources: “Wine Grapes” by Jancis Robinson, Dr. José Vouillamoz, Julia Harding “Grapes & Wines” by Margaret Rand and Oz Clarke https://www.bordeaux.com/us/ https://www.wineaustralia.com/ Fiona Beckett – Matching Food & Wine As always, talking to people about the grape who grow it, and drinking a lot of the wine itself – Sémillon is awesome! __________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ From our Sponsors...

Meanwhile, Saint-Emilion's Kelley Moueix, of the JP Moueix group, explores some of the nuances of making wine in this medieval village with a rich history, and Emily shares the tale of nuns tasked with using up egg yolks left behind from ancestral fining techniques.Discover the JP Moueix group and Château Belair-Monange:https://www.moueix.com/Find their bags here: https://saint-m.fr/Map of Bordeaux AOCs:https://bit.ly/3qA3JHPMap for Occupied France:https://bit.ly/3IDUYCuArticle by Jane Anson about Bordeaux under occupation:https://janeanson.com/world-war-ii-bordeaux-life-under-occupationSteak a la Bordelaise by Caroline ConnerThis is a recipe that is not really a recipe, the basic gist of it is that you reduce red wine and stock until it's got a thick syrupy texture, then mount it with butter. Pretty simple. It's not something that you need huge quantities of either, 2 or 3 spoonfuls is enough. It's intense!1 Sirloin Steak (8oz for two people seems good to me with sides but you may want 2 x 6oz, leftovers never hurt)Sauce Bordelaise1 shallot, finely chopped1 cup of red wine1 cup of chicken, beef, or veal stock1 bay leaf2 sprigs of thyme2 tbsp of butter, divided
In a small saucepan reduce the red wine and the stock with the bay leaf until it has reduced to about a quarter cup, it should be thick and syrupyPress the steak dry with paper towels and then salt and pepper liberallyI set up a little bowl of salt and pepper mixed together before doing this step so I'm not getting meaty hands all over everythingAdd a glug of neutral oil to frying pan or cast iron pan and get it searing hot, it should smokeAdd the steak and press down on it with your spatulaFlip and press until it's nice and brown and cooked to your liking . You can see a guide here for internal temps!Remove from the pan and cover with foil to restAdd 1 tbsp of butter to the pan and the diced shallot along with a pinch of salt and cook for a minute or two until the shallot goes translucentAdd the stock/wine reduction and whiskOff the heat, whisk in the other 1 tbsp of butter and season with salt and pepperSlice your steak and serve with a few spoonfuls of this intense sauce!Find Us OnlineWebsite: www.parisundergroundradio.com/theterroirpodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/parisundergroundradioInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/parisundergroundradio/CreditsHost: Emily Monaco. @Emily_in_France; Website: http://www.tomatokumato.com and http://www.emilymmonaco.comHost: Caroline Conner, https://www.parisundergroundradio.com/carolineconner; https://www.instagram.com/winedinecaroline/, www.winedinecaroline.com; www.lyonwinetastings.comProducer: Jennifer Geraghty. @jennyphoria; Website: http://jennyphoria.comMusic CreditsMon Paris by Ikson https://www.iksonmusic.com; https://youtube.com/iksonAbout UsFrance is home to thousands of wines, thousands of cheeses, and countless recipes – almost all of which are inextricable from their local terroir.
