Château Valandraud 2020 is a powerful and exclusive red wine from Saint-Émilion, Bordeaux, with dark fruit, great depth, and a modern, luxurious expression. The vintage appears intense, concentrated, and impressively well-balanced, with both richness, freshness, and a polished structure, giving the wine a distinct personality and great aging potential.

The aroma offers black cherries, blackcurrants, and ripe plums, complemented by liquorice, tobacco, cedar, floral nuances, warm spices, and a subtle hint of forest floor. The taste is full-bodied and dense with silky tannins, juicy dark fruit, and a vibrant freshness, where spicy notes, chalky minerality, and a slightly salty depth converge into a long, intense, and elegant finish.

The wine pairs excellently with beef, lamb, duck, game, as well as braised and grilled dishes – an obvious choice for hearty dinners and for those seeking a Saint-Émilion with both volume, finesse, and significant aging potential.

92 /100

If the 2019 vintage at this address was something of a guilty pleasure, the 2020 Valandraud is simply guilty as charged. Exhibiting aromas of jammy black fruits mingled with toasted coconut, spices and caricatural slatherings of new oak, it's full-bodied, rich and chewy, with generously extracted tannins that clamp down on the finish. All that oak and extract impedes access to the wine's generous fruit, rendering it less demonstrative and gourmand than its 2019 counterpart, and that's a pity, as recent vintages of Valandraud have been among the more successful of the few remaining hold-out "garagiste" wines of the Right Bank. - William Kelley, Wine Advocate

97 /100

This 17-acre vineyard gives a wine with an explosion of black fruits. It offers sweetness balanced by acidity and impressive tannins. The wood aging gives a polished texture with richness and style in balance. Drink this wine from 2027.

95 /100

Fragrant blueberry on the nose. Strong new wood. Vanilla. Licorice. On the palate densely packed with fleshy tannin, very compact but dissolving juicily, intense mineral freshness, much tension, a clarified structure without any excess. Suitably supple underpinnings, very good length. The alcohol remains almost imperceptible despite 15 percent by volume.

About the grape

Rød Bordeaux Blend

Rød Bordeaux Blend er en kombination af de druesorter, der traditionelt bruges til Bordeaux' berømte rødvine. Det er ikke en officiel betegnelse, men en praktisk måde at tale om en vinsstil, der nu dyrkes over hele verden – fra Californien til Australien, Sydafrika til Chile.

Essensen er fleksibilitet: typisk en blend af Cabernet Sauvignon og Merlot, ofte suppleret med Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot og Malbec. Hver drue tilfører noget unikt – struktur, frugt, krydderier eller blødhed.

Rød Bordeaux Blend er for dig, der søger kraftfuld struktur og dybe smagsnuancer. Det er vine med personlighed – nogle kan nydes straks, andre udvikler sig smukt gennem årene. Her får du en vinsstil med historisk fundament, der stadig inspirerer vinmagere verden over.

Serving

Rød Bordeaux Blend serveres bedst ved 16-18°C, hvor vinens frugt, struktur og kompleksitet står skarpest. Serveres den for varm, kan alkoholen virke mere dominerende, mens for lav temperatur dæmper aromaerne. Bordeaux anbefaler selv 16-18°C til strukturerede og lagringsværdige rødvine.
