A small, family-run Margaux cru bourgeois farmed by the Sorge family for generations, Deyrem Valentin flies under the radar in a commune full of famous names. The style is honest and traditional – Cabernet and Merlot from old vines, modest new oak, and the perfumed, gravelly elegance that defines true Margaux. 2018 was a warm, generous vintage that gave the estate ripe fruit without sacrificing freshness. Drinking beautifully now and built to hold another decade.
