Château DEYREM VALENTIN
Red

See the technical sheet

The 2022 vintage in the press:

Vinous (A. Galloni - January 2025): 88/100 "The 2022 Deyrem Valentin is a potent, brooding Margaux. It shows good depth but is also penalized by huge, searing tannins that clamp down on the mid-palate and finish. It's hard to get past the bruising structure today."

The 2021 vintage in the press:

Vinous (A. Galloni - December 2023): 92/100 “The Deyrem Valentin 2021 is a powerful, earthy Margaux. It offers very good density, with savory notes of worn leather, spices, tobacco, grilled herbs and scorched earth. It's not exactly an elegant expression of Margaux, but there's good depth, which makes me optimistic.”

Vinous (N. Martin - November 2023): 90/100 “The Deyrem Valentin 2021 must be considered a success for the vintage. It has a silty bouquet that harmonizes with black fruits and hints of dark chocolate. It's not powerful, but it's well-defined, and its style is close to that of a Saint-Julien. The palate is medium-bodied, with dark fruit and plum notes and, once again, a touch of dark chocolate. There's a certain trace of oak to assimilate on the finish, so give this Margaux a few more years in bottle.”

The 2018 vintage in the press:

Vinous (N. Martin - January 2021): 92/100 "The 2018 Deyrem Valentin is very perfumed on the nose, offering blackberry, blueberry, touches of violet petal and light incense aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a fine bead of acidity, a silky-smooth texture and a vibrant, minerally finish that lingers. This is a gorgeous, finely tuned and precise Margaux That is going to give 20 years of drinking pleasure."

The 2017 vintage in the press:

Vinous (A. Galloni - December 2019): 90/100 "The 2017 Deyrem Valentin has come together nicely during élevage. It remains a bit light in body, and yet all the elements are very nicely balanced throughout. Crushed flowers, sweet red cherry fruit, mint, sweet tobacco and cedar add nuance throughout. There is a lot to like in this approachable, mid-weight Margaux."

The 2016 vintage in the press:

Vinous (A. Galloni - December 2018): 91/100 "The 2016 Deyrem Valentin is soft, plush and inviting. Dark cherry, chocolate, new leather, licorice and spice are pushed forward in a silky, supple Margaux that offers tremendous near and medium term appeal. Floral notes add brightness on the finish as the 2016 acquires a bit more finesse with time in the glass."
