"A perfect match for seafood thanks to its elegance, tension and freshness".

Fresh and elegant on the nose and palate, with citrus aromas. Created in 2004, Valençay is the only AOC to feature both a wine and a cheese, the characteristic pyramid-shaped goat cheese. A perfect match for this white wine, 100% Sauvignon, fruity and gourmet to perfection.

"This Valençay reveals a flattering nose of black fruit and cherry brandy. Round, fleshy, supported by smooth, velvety tannins, the palate combines power and freshness, with a long finish.

Albane et Bertrand Minchin - Touraine Franc du Côt-Lié 2007

3.3/5 (3 reviews)

Notes : Bettane & Desseauve 16.5/20, RVF 15/20
"This wine, both profound and gourmand, is best drunk in large gulps, on a Paulée de Chartres evening. By the second magnum, you'll be waving your napkin in satisfaction. A Rabelaisian wine". (Le Grand Guide des Vins de France 2010 - Bettane & Desseauve). Old vines of Côt and Cabernet Franc, carefully aged without heaviness, give us this superb cuvée with its original name. A generous, powerful wine, perfectly balanced, to be enjoyed now or over the next 5 to 7 years...
