WS 90-93

Alex Lallos, JJ Buckley, April 2009

Deep purple core with a medium bright ruby rim. Superp nose of dark chocolate, blackberry, and black currant wrapped around mocha and coffee. Very clean and fresh throughout with fine grained tannins and a nice mineral driven backbone. While, silky in texture it shows nice structure as well. This is a hedonistic and delightful wine that will be at its best within the first 10-15 years.


90 -93 points,

Wine Spectator, April 2009

Offers notes of blackberry, mineral and licorice. Medium- to full-bodied, with well-integrated tannins and a long, caressing finish. Very fine. Tightly knit, like a ball of cashmere thread.

About Winery

Château Rol Valentin is one of the new breed of garagiste wines that have emerged in St-Emilion  in the last 10 years. These wines are made in minuscule quantities and are usually very deeply colored, intensely concentrated, and packed with super-ripe fruit with strong hints of new wood.

Rol Valentin has just 5 hectares of vineyards located on the north-western part of the plateau of St-Emilion. Its vineyards are planted with 90% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon.
