Having only been established in 1989, Jean-Luc Thunevin and Murielle Andraud have achieved an incredible amount in a short space of time with Château Valandraud, gaining St-Émilion Premier Grand Cru Classé (B) status and earning a reputation as one of the benchmark producers of the region. The 2017 is full-bodied yet plush and supple, offering concentrated notes of black cherry, plum, exotic spices, liquorice, espresso and woodsmoke. This is a flamboyant and bold expression of Merlot (with small amounts of Cabernets Franc and Sauvignon) but is superbly tempered by bright acidity and tight-knit tannins.

The Valandraud 600cl 2017 is a testament to the estate's commitment to quality and innovation. This large-format bottle represents an excellent vintage from the renowned Saint-Émilion estate, showcasing the terroir and expert winemaking that Château Valandraud is known for. The wine presents a deep, vibrant ruby color, with a bouquet of ripe black fruits, licorice, and subtle spice. On the palate, it offers a rich tapestry of flavors, including black cherry, plum, and mocha, complemented by a well-integrated oak, silky tannins, and a lingering finish. N/A

The Valandraud collection represents the essence of Château Valandraud's innovative spirit in Saint-Émilion. Known for its meticulous production methods and exceptional quality, the vintages from Valandraud are highly sought after by wine enthusiasts.

Château Valandraud is the fruit of an unparalleled passion for the vine and wine. Founded by Jean-Luc Thunevin and his wife Murielle Andraud, it became the flagship of the small Saint-Émilion property (Right Bank of the Dordogne), which led the way for what is known as the 'Garage Wine' movement. The approach was based on a more dedicated and artisanal approach to wine-making.
