Fyldig figen og sød sort lakrids i næsen. Fyldig, tæt, overdådig, næsten eksotisk med passionsfrugt og appelsinskal under den tætte nougatnæse. Men blød, ikke fed, bare rig og tæt. Chic! Smagen har en klar tendens til rød frugt. Surkirsebær, slåen, over denne rige sorte kirsebær fra næsen. Stor harmoni og balance. Og frem for alt meget elegant med denne pikanthed af rød og sort frugt. Også lakrids og sød figen. Stor længde med en mineralsk-saltet hale. En virkelig velsmagende vin med en høj sjov- og charmefaktor! *** Valandraud ligger i udkanten af Saint-Émilion på kalkstensplateauet. Let lerlag. Perfekt placeret, især i de varme år. Slottet har konsekvent været blandt topvinene i årevis. Ofte for dyrt i forhold til sine lige så gode naboer. Valandraud er praktisk talt nabo til Château Tertre de la Mouleyre og Mangot. Den næste appellation er Castillon.

Markus Del Monego om: Chateau Valandraud 1er Grand Cru Classe B

Dark purple colour with violet hue and almost black core. Rich and concentrated nose with aroma reminiscent of ripe plums, black cherries, dark chocolate and a hit of cigar box, fine balmy spices and a whiff of graphite in the background. On the palate well structured and balanced with ripe tannins, rich fruit quoting the nose, quite opulent mouthfeel in a full-bodied direction and excellent length. Tastingbook.com

Suckling om: Chateau Valandraud 1er Grand Cru Classe B

This shows smoky black cherries, damson plums, pine and violets. Bright and acid-driven with almost full body, fresh, polished tannins and a long, mouthwatering finish. A fuller and more concentrated expression for the vintage.

The Wine Independent om: Chateau Valandraud 1er Grand Cru Classe B

Deep garnet-purple colored. Needs a little coaxing before it bursts with bold notes of black raspberries, wild blueberries, and cedar, followed by hints of sassafras, dusty soil, rose oil, and pipe tobacco. The medium-bodied palate is taut with black and red berry layers, framed by firm, grainy tannins and bold freshness, finishing long and perfumed.

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Valandraud 1er Grand Cru Classe B

Based on 85% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 6% Cabernet Franc, the 2024 Château Valandraud is aging in 100% new oak and checks in at 13.5% alcohol with a pH of 3.5. It offers terrific depth and richness, with a deep color and focused cassis, dark berries, spicy oak, and graphite aromas. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it's beautifully textured, with fine tannins, impressive mid-palate density, and a seamless finish. You can safely put this up with anything in the vintage.

Jeff Leve om: Chateau Valandraud 1er Grand Cru Classe B

Chocolate-covered black raspberries, flowers, espresso, mocha, and black cherries present themselves prominently in the perfume. On the palate, the wine is fresh, creamy, supple, forward, and rounded. The fruits fill the palate, lingering with their sweetness, plushness, and a strong sense of minerality. Give it just a few years of bottle age, and it will be quite enjoyable. The wine blends 85% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 6% Cabernet Franc. 13.5% ABV. Harvesting took place September 26 - October 7. Drink from 2029-2045.
