Reviews and Ratings

Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

From Cotes de Bordeaux an extra-dry red blend showing dark red fruit, earth and woodsy elements. Smooth, mouth-watering, lingering finish.
Chateau de Vallier was purchased by the current owners in 2004, and is the latest winery estate for Vignobles Dulon. It has 20 hectares of vineyards spread across the appellation of Cotes de Bordeaux. The dulon family has been making wine for 250 years and in total owns 130 hectares of vines. The vines for this wine are planted on the hills above the Garonne River. Firm tannins. - Community Wine Reviews
