Château Valandraud – Saint-Émilion – Red – 2022 – 1500 ml:

 

The ‘Garagiste’ Masterpiece: VALANDRAUD 1ER

Château Valandraud, a Premier Grand Cru Classé B from Saint-Émilion, is the ultimate success story of the ‘Garagiste’ movement, championed by Jean-Luc Thunevin. This flagship wine is the result of meticulous, low-yield viticulture on clay-limestone soils, focusing on maximum concentration and purity. Every bottle is a rare collector’s item, delivering an intense, sophisticated, and unforgettable tasting experience.

Tasting Notes

• **Color:** Deep, inky purple-red.
• **Nose:** A complex and generous bouquet of ripe black fruits (blackberry, cassis), layered with notes of black truffle, sweet tobacco, vanilla, and perfectly integrated new oak.
• **Bouche (Palate):** Full-bodied and opulent. The texture is velvety, supported by massive, yet incredibly silky, tannins. The finish is persistent and monumental, lingering with dark chocolate and spice.

Pairing & Service

This powerhouse Bordeaux demands high-end cuisine. Decant for a minimum of two hours before serving at 63°F (17°C) to allow the full spectrum of aromas to emerge. This is a wine built to age and impress.
