Château Valandraud Saint-Emilion 1er Grand Cru Classé 2005

Chateau Valandraud Saint-Emilion 1er Grand Cru Classe 2005

259.50 € Tax included

Château Valandraud is a Premier Grand Cru Classé in the Saint-Emilion appellation and is offered here in the wonderful 2005 vintage. Offering a beautiful bright, dark and purple colour, the nose is fruity and fragrant. The palate is finely mellow on the attack, powerful and melting in development with a beautiful long and tasty finish.

Château Valandraud 2005 is a wine that can be kept for a long time and is now ripe but can be kept for many more years in the cellar, until about 2040.

In 1989, Jean-Luc Thunevin and his wife Murielle Andraud acquired a small plot of 0.6 hectares in the Saint-Emilion valley. In 1991, they made their first vintage bottled by themselves and in 2012, they obtained the classification of the great wine as a Premier Grand Cru Classé. Today, Château Valandraud has acquired its letters of nobility and is recognized as one of the very best Saint-Emilion wines by wine lovers from all over the world.

You can also find all the wines of the magnificent 2005 vintage currently on sale at La Bouteille Dorée.
