PRODUCER:
Château de Valois dates back to 1862, when the original vineyards of Château Figeac were restructured. In 1962, Bernard Leydet owned the vineyard comprising eight hectares. Over time, he added to the Pomerol plots and concentrated on improving the quality through improved vineyard management techniques and investment in the cellar. In 1996, Bernard’s son Frédéric Leydet took over, continuing the legacy left by his father and producing truly great Pomerol wines.
VINEYARD:
Located on the southern slopes of the plateau of the Pomerol appellation, the vines are double Guyot trained. The vineyard soils are made up of gravel and sand with subsoil of iron pan. The harvest takes place manually.
WINEMAKING:
Fermentation took place in small temperature controlled concrete vats for 28 days. The wine was matured for 15 months in oak barrels, of which one third was new; one third was one year old oak and one third was two year old oak. The wine was aged on its fine lees, without any racking.
TASTING NOTE:
Aromas of black berries, exotic spice and hints of smoky oak and cedar lead to a richly textured and generous palate with plump tannins and opulent chocolate notes on the finish.
GRAPES:
Cabernet Franc 23%, Merlot 77%.
