Chateau Deyrem Valentin Margaux 2018

$4999

A small, family-run Margaux cru bourgeois farmed by the Sorge family for generations, Deyrem Valentin flies under the radar in a commune full of famous names. The style is honest and traditional - Cabernet and Merlot from old vines, modest new oak, and the perfumed, gravelly elegance that defines true Margaux. 2018 was a warm, generous vintage that gave the estate ripe fruit without sacrificing freshness. Drinking beautifully now and built to hold another decade.

Antonio Galloni

90 points

"Deyrem Valentin is a pretty rich wine, just as it was in barrel. Inky dark fruit, chocolate, licorice and French oak give the 2018 its sepia-toned personality. The 2018 is well-balanced, but the style is decidedly one that favors power over nuance. There is some astringency on the finish, but otherwise the 2018 is quite attractive." —Antonio Galloni

Decanter

93 points

"This is good-quality. Fresh acidity gives a strong lift on the finish, all backed up by fruit, spice and tannins. Will age well and has a ton of complexity and nuance from a reliable name. A yield of 50hl/ha, 50% new oak for 15 months."

Wine Enthusiast

92 points

"While this wine does suffer from high alcohol, it also shows much of the Margaux elegance. The firm tannins and bold structure are mitigated by succulent and ripe black-currant flavors. It needs to age, not to be drunk before 2025." —Roger Voss
