The wine
Black berries, exotic spice and hints of smoky oak and cedar lead to a richly textured, generous palate with plump tannins and opulent chocolate notes on the finish. Proper Pomerol from a small family estate, at a price the appellation rarely permits.

Château de Valois
View all Château de Valois winesChâteau de Valois is a small family property in Pomerol, the tiny appellation on the right bank whose clay and gravel soils produce some of the most sought-after wine on earth. There is no classification in Pomerol, no grand hierarchy: simply a handful of modest-looking estates making extraordinary Merlot. De Valois is richly textured and generous, an approachable introduction to an appellation that rarely comes cheap.
