98 James Suckling
Vivid and focused with brightness and clarity of fruit. Dried flowers, too. Full-bodied with layers of fine, soft tannins that spread across the palate and show class and refinement. It goes on for minutes. A beautiful bottle. Try after 2027, but so attractive already.
96 Robert Parker
Rich and dramatic, the 2019 Valandraud bursts with aromas of berry fruit, plums and licorice, framed by a lavish but far from exaggerated application of creamy new oak. Full-bodied, fleshy and sensual, it's broad and enveloping, its lavish core of fruit framed by ripe, polished tannins and succulent balancing acids. Seamless and integrated despite its ripe, hedonistic style, this has turned out beautifully and has the balance to perform well for at least two decades, even if there's no youthful asperity to preclude near-term enjoyment.

Richly textured, featuring cashmere-like waves of dark plum, cassis and blackberry compote flavors that glide through and are laced with light violet, anise and black tea notes. The rumble of tannins can be heard on the finish, but for the vintage, this is extremely suave in the end. Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2025 through 2040. —J.M.

Château Valandraud

Depuis ses humbles débuts sur une parcelle de 0.6 ha dont la production était vinifiée dans un garage transformé en chai, Château Valandraud a bien grandi et ses désormais 10.70 ha sont basés sur le plateau argilo calcaire de Saint Etienne de Lisse avec un encépagement diversifié : 70 % Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Vendanges manuelles avec tri des raisins par les vendangeurs, puis tri densimétrique sur Tribaie à l’arrivée à notre chai bioclimatique. Vinification en cuves inox et bois thermo régulées, pigeage manuel, remontages, macération d’environ trois semaines. Fermentation malolactique en barrique. Elevage variable selon le millésime, de 18 à 30 mois en barriques 100% neuves. L’assemblage final varie selon le millésime, au terme d’un rigoureux travail de sélection des lots par notre équipe technique, accompagnée de nombreuses séances de dégustations pilotées par Jean-Philippe Fort du Laboratoire Rolland. Ce sont des dizaines de collaborateurs qui oeuvrent tout au long de l’année, dans le vignoble et les chais pour réaliser le meilleur vin possible, millésime après millésime. Christophe Lardière supervise l’équipe vigne, et Rémi Dalmasso oenologue supervise l’équipe chai. Ils sont en contact permanent avec Murielle Andraud et Jean Luc Thunevin pour la conduite de la vigne et la vinification.
