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.
