Description
Château Valandraud belongs to the select group of wine estates that demonstrate year after year what Saint-Émilion can achieve at the Premier Grand Cru Classé level. The 2020 vintage is a prime example: a wine that is at once powerful, elegant and extremely precise, a true stylistic hallmark of the estate.
The nose already shows impressive depth with blackcurrant, dark cherry, plum and a fine, almost cool spiciness. There are also notes of violets, cedar wood, chocolate and subtle roasted aromas that fit perfectly into the overall impression. On the palate, the 2020 reveals why Valandraud enjoys such an outstanding reputation. The tannins are incredibly fine, the mouthfeel dense, juicy and still elegant. It is this balance of power and finesse that makes the wine so striking.
The long finish unites dark fruit, spice and mineral depth. This is a wine that impresses in its youth and will continue to develop beautifully over the next 15 to 20 years. Perfect for special occasions or for anyone who wishes to experience the full potential of Saint-Émilion.
