A perfumed, elegant bouquet of dark berries, licorice, pencil lead and spices introduce the 2022 Leydet Valentin, a medium to full-bodied, round and sappy wine framed by velvety tannins and a fleshy core of fruit, concluding with a long, ethereal and wonderfully fruity finish. This is a blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc.

Varietal

Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

The 2022 Leydet Valentin is a rich, heady wine. Blackberry, chocolate, licorice, spice, espresso and a kick of French oak all run through this potent, exuberant Saint-Émilion. Leydet Valentin is an extrovert, there's no doubt about it.

Savory and focused, showing black beans, earth and black fruit on the nose. It’s full-bodied and creamy with juicy fruit. From organically grown grapes. Drink from 2027.

The 2022 Château Leydet-Valentin is a blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc, offering juicy red and black cherries, spicy wood, and floral notes. Round and supple, medium to full-bodied, and nicely textured, it has a charming and approachable style. Aged in oak barrels, this should evolve well for 10-12 years.
