Chateau Valentin Cotes de Blaye

Winner of 'Coup de Coeur' for best wine in its appellation. Showing graphite, stewed autumnal fruits, coffee bean, soft, subtle leather, and typical lovely Bordeaux gravelly character, with tissue fine tannins, while retaining a warmth and generosity. Situated across the river from St Julien and Margaux. Cote de Blaye is a treasure trove of small producers that produce amazing wines but fall under the radar.

Made from a traditional blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. This wine makes an excellent choice for anyone wanting an affordable Bordeaux. This wine boasts a powerful and balanced palate, dry but full of character. It would make for a great choice to pair with any meaty dish.
