Château de Valois - Pomerol 2019

ORGANIC

Key words: Elegance / Complexity / Balance

The wine: This Pomerol from the Leydet family is an elegant and delicious nectar with silky tannins. The palate is indeed particularly charming thanks to a floral touch seductive (violet), deep fruit aromas red and black (cherry, blackberry) as well as a velvety texture. A melted oakyness and a slightly spicy aspect finally contribute to the beautiful complexity of this cuvée. A high-flying Pomerol which can be appreciated from its relative youth but also improves in the cellar over several years!

The estate: Taken over by the Leydet family in 1962, the Château de Valois has been managed since 1996 by Fréderic, now at the head of 8 hectares converted to Organic Farming since the 2015 vintage. Growing on a sandy terroir and fine gravel, the estate produces wines of a great finesse accessible in their relative youth but also capable of long aging. Note that the family also owns an 8-hectare estate classified as Grand Cru in AOC Saint-Émilion. A discreet and high quality house!
