Product Description
"Deyrem Valentin is an old Bordeaux property, with an history that dates back to 1730. It is a rather small family owned property for the Margaux appellation with 13 hectares, located slightly north of the Margaux village and appellation. It has belonged to the Sorge family since 1928. Jean Sorge has been running the estate with help of his two daughters, especially Christelle who is now managing the estate. In short, this property is a small, focused, family operation, who in some vintages can eclipse far more exalted names."
wine score
93 points Wine Enthusiast
"This dense and impressively ripe wine comes from a Sorge family estate in the northern part of the Margaux appellation. With black fruits and generous tannins, it is a big wine with considerable richness. This complex wine will age. Drink from 2025."
91 points Wine Advocate
"Tasted at the Cru Bourgeois annual tasting, the 2015 Deyrem Valentin has an intense bouquet with powerful black cherry and raspberry fruit, a light graphite and marine influence surfacing with time. The palate is medium-bodied with soft tannin, here a mixture of red and black fruit, quite corpulent in the mouth but with a very pure and lightly spiced finish. This is another impressive wine from this estate that deserves a higher profile. Tasted September 2017."
