Chateau Valandraud 2018

An Exceptional Premier Grand Cru Classe of Saint-Emilion

In what was a great year for Bordeaux, the prestigious Premier Grand Cru Classe of Saint-Emilion – Chateau Valandraud – has produced in 2018 a vintage that will mark the history of the property.

Spread over 8.88 hectares, the vineyard of Chateau Valandraud is planted in an exceptional clay-limestone soil on the right bank of Bordeaux. The vines are 30 years old on average.

Fruit of a blend of Merlot (90%), Cabernet Franc (4%), Cabernet Sauvignon (3%) and Malbec (3%), the Chateau Valandraud 2018 is matured between 24 and 36 months in 100% new oak barrels.

Unanimously acclaimed by international critics, the Chateau Valandraud 2018 ranks among the elite Grands Crus Classes of Saint-Emilion in a very good vintage for Bordeaux.
