Château Valandraud was established in 1991 by wine lovers Jean-Luc Thunevin and Murielle Andraud and is situated in Saint-Émilion. The 2018 vintage is an elegant, Merlot-dominant Bordeaux blend and has met with great critical acclaim. In the words of James Suckling, "This is really rich and intense with beautiful blackberry, violet and blueberry aromas that follow through to a full-bodied palate with extremely polished tannins that caress your palate. Love the texture and purity to the wine. Fantastic. Try after 2025." Sold in magnificent large format.

The Valandraud 2018 in an impressive 600cl format offers a luxurious expression of Saint-Émilion terroir. Crafted predominantly from Merlot, this vintage is celebrated for its intricate layers of flavor, striking balance, and potential for ageing. An explosion of dark fruits, cassis, and blackberry, with hints of vanilla, tobacco, and licorice, complemented by refined tannins and a lengthy finish. Critical acclaim across the board, including high ratings from notable wine critics.

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.
