Abundant, ripe cherry and currant fruit, spice box, licorice and sweet tannin represent the inimitable Thunevin style. The wine has an expansive, medium to full-bodied mouthfeel, and beautiful purity. This is a gorgeous, sexy wine to drink over the next 10-15 years.
Like Monbousquet, quite advanced and sweet. Juicy fruit. Velvety. Certainly very right bank. Firm oak. (JR)
(70% merlot and 30% cabernet franc) Bright ruby-red. Blueberry, cassis, bitter chocolate and a whiff of game on the nose. Sweet but juicy and firm, with a solid spine of acidity. A seriously structured wine, but the firm tannins avoid dryness.
Informazioni sul produttore
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.
