Château Rol Valentin
Between Saint‑Émilion’s limestone slopes and the parcels of Saint‑Étienne‑de‑Lisse, Château Rol Valentin has found its own voice since its first vintage in 1994. Evolving from the former Clos Valentin, the estate works micro‑parcels—calcareous plateau, argilo‑calcaire coteaux and finer sandy pockets—harvested and vinified separately to privilege tension over sheer volume.
In the vineyard, precision rules: yield control, hand selection and gentle extraction. Barrique élevage is paced so it smooths tannins without painting over Saint‑Émilion’s floral and spice‑driven identity, while Cabernet Franc brings a vertical, chalk‑edged freshness.
Rol Valentin reads like a modern classic—more texture than pomp—carried by limestone and the quiet confidence of a property writing a young history with remarkable consistency.Château Rol Valentin
