Château Valentons Moelleux is a product made from overripe Sauvignon Gris. It is less sweet than a Sauternes or a Monbazillac. Fermentation at low temperature is followed by aging in barrels, which gives it notes of flowers (lime blossom, verbena) and spices (cinnamon, vanilla). It can be enjoyed with foie gras, desserts, blue cheeses or as an aperitif.

The cuvée "excentrique", which combines the fruity notes and the smoky side of the great "single Malts", is only bottled during great vintages. It is a rare cuvée for its originality, being made up of 70% Petit Verdot, a great grape variety for keeping, also rare, and 30% Merlot. To be discovered with game, stews, in general with characterful dishes. Or to forget for 10 years.
