Chateau Valentin Cotes de Blaye 2019 - Pitch perfect Claret

A classic at just the right price - £15.50 per single to mix, £14.75 when 12. The price will automatically discount at checkout. This petit Chateaux shows exactly what you can find in Bordeaux outside the biggest names and appellations. There is such quality and pedigree behind it and the 2019 for me, is in that sweet spot for Claret, where you can start to appreciate those mellowing fruit notes, some saddle and cedar, but the wine still has its heart and a generosity to it. You certainly could cellar it for longer if you are wanting to amplify those developing, soft notes, but for me, its time is now. It is excellent; exactly how I like my Bordeaux.
