Château Petit Val
Château Petit Val sits in Saint-Émilion Grand Cru, the heart of Bordeaux's Right Bank, where clay and limestone soils nurture wines of structure and depth. The winery's flagship Rose du Val blends Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot into a wine rated 94.0 by prestige critics including Decanter, Wine Advocate, and Wine Spectator. The Saint-Émilion Grand Cru itself—a Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc blend—reflects the region's signature style: ripe dark fruit balanced by mineral tension and fine tannins. Notably, Orfevre du Val, a Riesling, departs from Bordeaux convention, suggesting a willingness to explore beyond regional tradition. The winery's portfolio demonstrates range across both classic Right Bank blends and unexpected varietal expression.
