Château Rol Valentin is one of the relatively new 'Vins de garage' emerging in the Saint-Émilion reigon of Bordeaux. The wines are typically very deeply coloured, intensely flavoured, and generally only made in very small quantities - the estate comprises just 7.3 hectares. Purchased in 1994 by ex-footballer Eric Prisette, who employed well-known French vigneron Stéphane Derenoncourt as the wine consultant at the property, Château Rol Valentin was bought by Nicolas and Alexandra Robin in 2009. The grapes at Château Rol Valentin are fermented in wooden tanks and then aged in 100% new oak barrels.
