Valandraud 1er Grand Cru Classé Saint-Emilion, 2021

Valandraud 2021 is a polished Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé that reflects the estate’s modern icon status in Bordeaux. Known for its precision, depth and luxurious texture, it stands out as a wine that combines richness with finesse, making it highly sought after by collectors and Bordeaux lovers alike.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the 2021 shows a deep ruby color with lively purple reflections. The nose is expressive and layered, offering dark berries, plum, violets, cedar, cocoa and subtle spice, with a refined mineral edge. On the palate, it is supple and concentrated, with ripe black fruit, fine-grained tannins and excellent balance between freshness and structure. The finish is long and elegant, with enough brightness to give the wine strong aging potential over the coming decade or more, depending on storage conditions.

Production
Produced in Saint-Émilion on Bordeaux’s Right Bank, Valandraud benefits from a terroir of clay-limestone soils that help preserve freshness and give the wine its hallmark structure and precision. While detailed vinification information for this bottling is not provided, Valandraud is known for meticulous vineyard work, careful harvesting, and parcel-by-parcel selection aimed at maximizing purity and concentration.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast lamb, duck breast, beef tenderloin, truffle dishes and mushroom-based cuisine. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if drinking young to allow the aromas and structure to open fully.
