Valençay
Valençay red wines are made from Gamay noir with white juice, while Côt, Cabernet and Pinot noir are being replanted. White wines are made from Sauvignon and Arbois grapes, while Chardonnay is rarer and more recent.
Red Valençay, representing two-thirds of production, has long been sold under the name of the grape variety. They are evolving into a blended wine, capable of aging for three years. Gamay dominates with its fruitiness, to which Pinot Noir, Côt and sometimes Cabernet contribute structure and character. Valençay white wines are mainly made from Sauvignon, whose qualities are well expressed by the terroir. The characteristics of the Valençay appellation are admirably reflected in the wines offered by Domaine Albane et Bertrand Minchin.

"This Valençay reveals a flattering nose of black fruit and cherry brandy. Round and fleshy, supported by smooth, velvety tannins, the palate combines power and freshness, with a long finish. Good character and potential ". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2019). Claux Delorme's Valençay rouge brings together the 4 grape varieties of the AOC: Gamay, Côt, Cabernet Franc and Pinot Noir, grown on a flinty clay terroir. The result is a complex, dense and precise cuvée with very round fruit. Ideal for discovering this little-known appellation.
