El Principal was founded in 1999 as a partnership between two wine pioneers: Jean-Paul Valette, a former owner of Château Pavie in Bordeaux, and Jorge Fontaine, a Chilean entrepreneur. Their shared vision was to produce world-class wines in Chile by combining the country's natural winemaking potential with Valette’s Bordeaux expertise.

Memorias was introduced as a tribute to the late Jean-Paul Valette, the co-founder of El Principal Winery and a key figure in shaping its winemaking philosophy. The wine reflects Valette’s deep connection to Bordeaux traditions while fully embracing the expressive qualities of Chilean terroir.

95 Pts Tim Atkin

A wonderfully crafted nose that is pure Maipo, with pronounced graphite and pyrazine notes. The attack is marked by fresh acidity and a dense, saturated core of tobacco, cassis, and blue fruits. There is so much to enjoy here - a mocha core with coffee and a jammy red fruit note on the long and linear finish.
