From a tiny 'Vin de Garage' operation, it has become a globally renowned <strong>Premier Grand Cru Class\u00e9<\/strong>, a testament to the meticulous and innovative work of Jean-Luc Thunevin. Located on the clay-limestone slopes of Saint-\u00c9milion, this wine epitomises the powerful, concentrated, and age-worthy style of the Right Bank.<\/p>\n<h2>Tasting Notes (Richness and Definition)<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Colour:<\/strong> A saturated, arterial purple, deep to the rim.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Nose:<\/strong> Highly perfumed and intense, revealing layers of blackcurrant, damson, liquorice root, and a smoky, cedar-infused minerality derived from its 100% new oak maturation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Palate:<\/strong> Rich, full, and beautifully defined. The concentration of fruit is balanced by a fresh acidity and a backbone of fine, glossy tannins. It\u2019s a bold, sophisticated wine with a long, captivating finish of dark chocolate and tar.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Serving Suggestion &amp; Potential<\/h2>\n<p>Best served slightly cooler than room temperature, 16\u00b0C-18\u00b0C (61\u00b0F-64\u00b0F). Decant for several hours when young. Valandraud is built for the cellar; expect complexity to increase significantly after 10 years. An exceptional wine for a special occasion or a serious Sunday Roast.<\/p>\n<p>Saint-\u00c9milion Grand Cru 2013<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/winetorres.com\/en\/?s=Ch\u00e2teau%20Valandraud&#038;post_type=product\">Find other wines from this producer.<\/a><br \/>More information: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thunevin.com\/%20;%20https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ch%C3%A2teau_Valandraud\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">visit the official website.<\/a><\/p>\n\n    <div class=\"xs_social_share_widget xs_share_url after_content \t\tmain_content  wslu-style-1 wslu-share-box-shaped wslu-fill-colored wslu-none wslu-share-horizontal wslu-theme-font-no wslu-main_content\">\n\n\t\t\n        <ul>\n\t\t\t        <\/ul>\n    <\/div> \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Premier Grand Cru Class\u00e9 de Saint-\u00c9milion, Valandraud est le vin culte de Jean-Luc Thunevin.
