Die gleiche Farbtiefe wie der normale Valandraud selbst. Reifes Fruchtbouquet, sanft hölzerne Note, Schokotöne und Buchenduft. Im Gaumen sehr strenge, feste Tannine die den Körper, zusammen mit den kernig wirkenden Tanninen dominieren, wirkt sehr hart und massiv, robust und etwas grobschlächtig mit eine Tannin das sich nicht vor 8 bis 10 Jahren öffnen wird.
Producer
Château Valandraud

It all started humbly on a 0.6 ha vineyard and a garage turned into a vinification cellar. Since then, Chateau Valandraud has grown to a 10.70 ha vineyard based on the clayey limestone terroir of Saint Etienne de Lisse. The vineyard is a mix if various grape varieties : 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Manual harvest with grape sorting by hand, followed by a densimetric sorting by Tribaie upon the harvest arrival in our bioclimatic cellar. Thermo regulated stainless steel and wooden vats. Punching of the cap, pumping over, 3 weeks maceration. Malolactic fermentation in oak barrels. Ageing varies with each vintage, from 18 to 30 months in 100% new oak barrels. The final blending also varies according the each vintage, result of the rigorous selection by our own technical team, helped in this task by Jean Philippe Fort from the Rolland team.
Dozens are working all year long to look after every vintage of Valandraud, in the vineyard and the cellars, with the same goal to achieve every year : delivering the best possible wine. Christophe Lardière manages the vineyard team, and Rémi Dalmasso, our in-house oenologist, heads the cellar team. Murielle Andraud and Jean Luc Thunevin are also on the ground, supervising all operations.
