Château Valandraud Premier Grand Cru Classé - 2015 - Saint-Émilion Grand Cru
Deep ruby.
Full-bodied, with smooth, well-integrated tannins and long finish.
Complex and intense, floral, with aromas of blackcurrant, blueberries, tobacco and coffee.
Ageing: 18 to 30 months in 100% new oak barrels.
"The 2015 Chateau Valandraud is founded upon Jean-Luc Thunevin's ever-reliable Merlot parcels, and this year the blend is augmented with 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. It has a glorious and damn irresistible bouquet of crème de cassis, blueberry, crushed violets and a scintilla of citrus fruit, all beautifully defined and very precise. In 2015 it is determined to put a gap between itself and the Virginie de Valandraud. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, creamy in texture but not in the slightest cloying. The acidity is well judged with layers of caressing black fruit towards a finish for which I could only deploy the word - nubile. This will be a stunning Valandraud to savor over the next couple of decades, though it will be difficult to resist temptation in its youth. Drink 2022-2045" - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
