In a few words ...

Initially very seductive, in an opulent, spicy style, Valandraud has evolved towards a less modern profile in recent vintages, with finer, firmer tannins. Its ageing potential is even greater. J. Suckling : 97-98/100

Tasting notes

Appearance

Ruby hue, with purplish reflection in youth.

Aroma

The notes of red fruits are very concentrated, behind them develop a wide range of aromas including vanilla and leather with aging in barrels.

Wine Fruity | Spicy

Taste

The three main varieties of the appellation come together and complement each other to magnify the whole. Merlot brings fruity, when Cabernet Sauvignon gives tannins and Cabernet Franc spicy notes.

Wine Fruity | Long
