Chateau Valandraud 1er Grand Cru Classe 2020
Chateau Valandraud is a First Classified Growth of Saint-Emilion spanning 12 hectares. The estate's vineyards are planted in clay-limestone and siliceous-gravelly soils. Of these, 7 hectares are used for the Saint-Émilion Premier Grand Cru Classé, typically featuring vines with an average age of 30 years. Manual harvesting and aging in 100% new barrels for 18-24 months completes the process. "An incredible amount of ripe black fruit, chocolate, vanilla, espresso, and leafy herb-like aromas and flavors. This carries to a full-bodied, powerful Saint-Emilion that somehow stays weightless and graceful on the palate, with moderate acidity, ripe tannins, and a great, great finish." - Jeb Dunnuck

Tasting Notes from Celtic Whiskey Shop and Wines on the Green

| Nose | "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." Lisa Perotti |
