Country: France /
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend Bordeaux
Winery: Château du Vallier / Côtes de Bordeaux
This wine is full of smoky tannins and ripe black fruits, with a light touch of acidity. It’s dense, structured as befits the vintage, and still has a way to go. Set on the slopes above the river Garonne, this is a seriously improved estate, bought by the Dulon family in 2004. Drink from 2016.
