In 1989, Jean-Luc Thunevin and his wife Murielle Andraud purchased a 0.6 hectare plot in Saint-Émilion. Just two years later, they released their first commercial vintage, marking the beginning of their remarkable winemaking journey. Today, the estate spans 8.8 hectares, and the wines are produced through a combination of tradition, modern techniques, and innovative practices. A pioneer in the garage wine movement, Château Valandraud was promoted to Saint-Emilion Premier Grand Cru Classé status in 2012 and renewed in 2022.
The wine shows a deep, dark colour and opens with aromas of ripe cassis, dark berries, graphite, and a touch of spicy oak. The palate is full-bodied, rich, and concentrated, with impressive mid-palate weight. Juicy blackcurrant, fine tannins, and a long, polished finish.
One of the last estates to begin harvest, picking took place from 26th September until 7th October, with yields of 40hl/ha.Will be aged in 100% new oak
