Here at Clos Mirabel we’ve discovered that the earliest known valentine message was written by a French nobleman.

The story goes that in 1415, the Duke of Orleans was incarcerated by the English at the Tower of London having been captured during the battle of Agincourt. During his imprisonment he wrote over 60 love poems to his wife including one, entitled ‘Farewell to Love’ in which he refers to her as: My very gentle Valentine.

Of course, the world has changed a lot since then … except for one thing. People still can’t resist a bit of romance (including us) which is why we’ve put together a special Valentine’s offer to get your hearts fluttering and your taste buds tingling.
