Established in 1989 by Jean-Luc Thunevin and his wife Murielle, Château de Valandraud is a relatively recent addition to Bordeaux. Located in the Saint-Émilion appellation, the estate has flourished, earning the prestigious promotion to Premier Grand Cru Classé B in 2012. The 2010 release presents an enticing nose with hints of chocolate, cassis, mocha, and sweet plum. The palate is opulent and robust, showcasing a modern winemaking style.

Vinous
- Saturated ruby-red. Ripe, expressive aromas of black cherry, blackberry and espresso. Sweet, concentrated and quite perfumed in the mouth, with notes of oaky torrefaction currently dominating the wine's dark fruit flavors. Distinctly powerful for Valandraud, and impressively long on the finish, with a sweet, chocolatey aftertaste. A sample of the same juice tasted just after the last racking showed more precision of aromas and more clarity in the mouth, with strong raspberry fruit to go with the smoky oak.
