This refined Bordeaux wine from Pomerol is produced by Château de Valois, an estate whose origins date back to 1862 during the restructuring of the historic Château Figeac vineyards. Guided by Frédéric Leydet, the estate follows organic farming, hand-harvesting, and long oak maturation to preserve the authenticity of its terroir. Aged for 15 months in oak barrels and refined on lees without racking, this wine expresses purity, elegance, and the depth of classic Right Bank craftsmanship.

The texture is smooth and refined, leading to a long, fresh, and harmonious finish.
