The origins of the name is likely derived from ‘la vallée de tous les désirs’ meaning ‘the valley of all desires’, eagerly awaited by wine lovers and winemakers each year. Whatever the case, it is certainly a very beautiful name for a wine climat.
Pale yellow hue with clear, green glimmers. The complex nose reveals delicate aromas of white flowers (acacia and lime blossom), vanilla and honey. The palate is well-structured and combines a rich structure and lively acidity.
Burghound 91-94: The nose is difficult to read as there are still residual lactic nuances along with ample wood toast. The palate impression is much more interesting with its sappy and caressing texture that is highly seductive while displaying a lovely sense of refinement on the compact, moderately dry and balanced finale. This should cleanup nicely and repay up to a decade of keeping.
Burghound 90-93: Soft reduction and mildly exotic aromas precede the very rich yet nicely refined medium weight flavors that somehow manage to be both rich and borderline delicate, all wrapped in a bitter lemon zest-inflected finish. However, this definitely needs more depth so a few years of keeping are in order.
