Les Valentines 2015

Chateau Rol Valentin does not have a long history, In fact, it made its debut with the difficult 1994 vintage. Prior to that, the property was known as Clos Valentin. The founder of Rol Valentin was Eric Prissette, the former, European soccer star. That changed in time for the now legendary, 2009 Bordeaux vintage. That was the year Chateau Rol Valentin took on a new owner, when it was sold to the daughter of Leclerc's chief wine buyer, Jean-Luc Roche and her husband, Nicolas Robin, who is the nephew of the famous Robin sisters of the Right Bank. The Robin sisters previously owned Chateau Lafleur and Chateau Le Gay in Pomerol. The original and smaller vineyard was increased to its current size when the new owners took over.
