  • What the experts say...

    "Rol Valentin’s 2006 reveals a sinewy, muscular style displaying a dark ruby/purple color, some attractive black cherry, licorice, and roasted herbs on the attack, but a narrowing in the mouth as well as an angular, disjointed finish. There is good depth, weight, and purity" R. Parker (02/2009)

    The wine

    Rol Valentin is a Saint-Émilion with obvious appeal. Carried by the Merlot, it is a smooth and generous wine that can be drunk relatively young. It ages elegantly for 10 to 15 years. An exciting, modern wine.

    Information about domain Château Rol Valentin

    Rol Valentin is one of the leading vins de garage. The property was created by Éric Prissette, an ex-football player in the early 1990s. Under the advice of consultant Derenencourt and with a great vineyard next to Valandraud - the iconic vin de garage, Rol Valentin has managed to elevate the wine to the highest levels. In 2009, the property was sold to Alexandra and Nicolas Robin who are pursuing the great work achieved so far.
