- The nose is bursting with blackberries, exotic spices, and hints of smoky oak and cedar. On the palate, the texture is rich and generous, with soft tannins. The finish has a good freshness and is full of lingering ripe fruit.
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.
Chateau de Valois dates back to 1862 when the original vineyards of Chateau 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 Frederic Leydet took over, continuing the legacy left by his father and producing truly great Pomerol wines.
