於 1994 年 6 月，前職業足球員 Eric Prissett 買入了一個波爾多物業，包括了位於聖艾美倫產中心，由葡萄園包圍住的傳統石屋。
葡萄園由擁有者細心照顧，並改名為 Rol Valentin ，Prissett 經常希望出產最令人讚歎、高調和集中的葡萄酒，他以最細心的工藝，以盡力把聖艾美倫區的魔法融入其酒中。

此成熟、非常豐富而果味濃厚的葡萄酒，有大量黑莓、黑加侖子和杉木，與少許煙草及細致的小木桶香氣。此酒中度酒體，帶有優質集中度，木桶試飲時的草青已經消失，可以在未來十年享用。

酒香內斂和諧，豐富的紅莓果香中，隱約傳來鼠尾草、茴香和淡淡的鉛筆盒香氣。口感非常順滑、迷人，且帶有細膩的酸度。結構良好，結尾的辛香度比黑胡椒碎及鼠尾草更甚。它是近年Rol-Valentin其中一個最好的年份。(於2009年波爾多Farr Vintners品酒會上盲品。)
In June 1994, Eric Prissett - the former professional footballer bought a property in Bordeaux. This consists of a traditional stone house surrounded by vines in the heart of the Saint-Emillion apellation.
The vineyard, attentively tended by its new owner, quickly grew and was renamed Rol Valentin. Prissette has always attached great importance to producing the most magnificent, flamboyant, and concentrated wines possible. He works with meticulous care to embody the magic of Saint-Emilion in his wine.

Tasting Notes:
(Robert Parker's rating: 89 points)
This ripe, richly fruity wine has plenty of black cherry, black currant and cedary notes intermixed with some tobacco leaf and subtle background barrique smells. The wine is medium-bodied, possesses excellent concentration, and has lost the overt herbaceousness it exhibited from barrel. Drink it over the next decade.

The 2009 Rol-Valentin has a more reserved, but harmonious bouquet with ample brambly red fruit laced with sage, fennel and light pencil box aromas. The palate is very smooth on the entry, garmonious and poised with a fine bead of acidity. This is very well structured, spicier than many with cracked black pepper and sage towards the finish. One of the best Rol-Valentin vintages in recent years. (Tasted blind at Farr Vintners' 2009 Bordeaux tasting.)
