Description
Domaine des Valentons Canteloup 1982 – Bordeaux Supérieur
The Domaine des Valentons Canteloup 1982, from the Bordeaux Supérieur appellation, is a wine shaped by one of the most iconic vintages of the 20th century. The 1982 harvest, warm and generous, produced wines of remarkable richness, depth, and longevity — qualities clearly reflected in this beautifully matured cuvée.
The wine displays a deep garnet hue with brick reflections, the hallmark of graceful ageing. The nose is expansive and expressive, offering aromas of ripe blackcurrant, plum, and raspberry confit, layered with tertiary notes of blond tobacco, cedar, soft leather, forest floor, and a delicate hint of truffle — a true signature of well-aged Bordeaux.
On the palate, the wine reveals a silky, harmonious texture, with tannins that have softened elegantly over time. Evolved dark fruit mingles with gentle spice, subtle wood tones, and a touch of minerality. Balanced by a still-present acidity, the wine maintains freshness and structure. The finish is long, refined, and richly aromatic.
A characterful and authentic 1982 Bordeaux Supérieur, offering depth, maturity, and the unmistakable charm of a legendary vintage. A perfect bottle for enthusiasts of aged Bordeaux, seeking nuance, history, and elegance.
