Château Rol Valentine was for much of its history known as Château Clos Valentine. But in 1994 the property was purchased by professional soccer player Eric Prissette, and he renamed the estate. In 2009 the estate was sold to Jean-Luc Roche and her husband Nicolas Robin. The 20-acre estate is in two locations, partly in La Gomerie and partly in St. Etienne de Lisse. About 2,000 cases of the flagship wine are made annually. The estate’s second wine is Les Valentines. The consulting oenologist is Stephane Derenoncourt, whose advice and winemaking skills have in the last couple of decades also helped turn Clos Fourtet, Pavie-Macquin and Château La Mondotte into highly collectible wines.
