Score 87-89/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous
Moderately saturated ruby-red. Slightly inky aromas of cherry and raspberry; a bit muted today. Smooth and fruity but rather monolithic; very rich but not yet revealing much personality or verve. Finishes with lush tannins and a note of Valrhona chocolate.

About the producer

Valandraud
One of the first garage wines, Ch. Valandraud was created by Jean-Luc Thunevin – Saint-Emilion’s “bad boy”. Today the style of the wine is much more restrained, and officially classified as a Premier Grand Cru Classé B estate.
