Chateau Valandraud Saint Emilion Grand Cru 2020
Chateau Valandraud 2020 offers a perfect balance of freshness and opulence, with a blend of 90% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon. This results in a wine that boasts both fruit and structure, making it a must-try for any wine connoisseur.
James Suckling
Very opulent and expressive aromas of black fruit and pine needles. So floral. Full-bodied with plush, velvety tannins and lots of fruit and texture. It goes on for minutes. Rich at the finish, but remains fresh and vivid. Superb. One of the great Valandrauds.
97 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Opaque purple-black colored, the 2020 Valandraud bursts with scents of crushed black plums, boysenberries and blackberry preserves, followed by hints of dusty soil, garrigue and clove oil. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers a lot of energetic, crunchy black fruits with a lively backbone and beautifully ripe, rounded tannins, finishing long and fragrant. Barrel Sample: 95-97
