VIRGINIE DE VALANDRAUD 2nd wine of Chateau Valandraud Saint-Emilion 2023 Carton x 6 Bottles - PRE-RELEASE

Description

JAMES SUCKLING 94-95 Points
11 Apr, 2024 – This shows depth and power, yet it comes across as elegant and refined, too. Medium- to full-bodied with an impressive structure that lasts long on the palate. The tannins are super-fine and pixelated. 90% merlot, 5% cabernet franc and 5% cabernet sauvignon.

Tasted by: Panos Kakaviatos (at Bordeaux, 20 Apr 2024)
Drinking Window: 2026 - 2038
Enjoyable ripe fruit mulberry aromas and flavours introduce a palate marked by crunchy red fruit and torrefaction, although a bit drying on the finish, making me wonder about the 100% new oak quotient. Harvested from 13 September to 4 October.
