Château de Valois L'Eclat de Valentin (Pomerol)
Produced from a parcel selection of the estates oldest vines, the nose pops with chocolate covered cherries, flowers, espresso, and licorice. Medium-bodied, finesse in style with ample fruit, there is still a bit of oak to integrate, so give it a year or two to evolve and the wine should offer more complexities. This wine would be better if they used less oak in the aging. The wine is a blend of 65% Merlot, with 35% Cabernet Franc. Drink from 2027-2037. 658 Views Tasted Mar 17, 2026With strong notes of espresso, black coffee, dark chocolate, smoke and deep red fruits, the wine is lively, round, and vibrant, on the palate, with a bit too much oak in the finish. If the oak better integrates, this will be a better wine. Let it age a bit to allow the wood to better integrate. The wine is a blend of 65% Merlot, with 35% Cabernet Franc.
