Chateau Valandraud Virgine de Valandraud 2018

Virginie de Valandraud is the second wine of Château Valandraud, offering refined Saint-Émilion character with aromas of black cherry, blackberry, cassis, violet, graphite, cedar, dark chocolate, and subtle baking spice. Richly textured yet beautifully elegant, it delivers silky tannins, vibrant freshness, exceptional balance, and a long, polished finish.

Food Pairing: Pair with beef Wellington, roast lamb, duck breast, venison, mushroom risotto, black truffle dishes, aged Comté, or braised short ribs.

94 Points - James Suckling

Aromas of dark berries, dried violets, toasted hazelnuts, dark chocolate and coffee. It’s full-bodied with firm, powdery tannins. Muscular and intense, yet still tight. Try from 2026.
