Reviews of 1998 Valandraud Bordeaux Blend

93 points, Robert Parker, Wine Advocate
April 2001
A classic St.-Emilion, the 1998 exhibits a dark plum/purple color as well as an elegant nose of mocha, coffee, cherries, blackberries, and chocolate. It has turned out to be more finesse-styled and less exotic than past vintages. This medium to full-bodied, beautifully concentrated wine reveals chocolate overtones in the aromas and flavors. With exceptional purity, balance, and length...

Exotic and a bit of the rough right now, but you have to like it. Intense aromas of tobacco, mineral and cedar, with ripe fruit. Lots of toasted oak. Full-bodied, with big tannins, lots of fruit and a chewy finish. Best Valandraud ever...

About 1998 Valandraud Bordeaux Blend

About the Winery Valandraud
"Château de Valandraud was one of the first Garagiste wines with its inaugural vintage being the difficult 1991. Jean-Luc and Murielle Thunevin own a mere 2.7 hectares of vineyards which consist of 4 separate parcels and are planted with 75% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 5% Malbec. De Valandraud's yields are pitifully low and the grapes are de-stemmed by hand before being fermented in 2 open-top fermenting vessels. Malolactic fermentation takes place in oak barrels and the wine is matured in "200%" new oak barriques for 18 months (two sets of new barrels for 9 months each). De Valandraud produces only about 400 cases a year and, not surprisingly, this very rich and concentrated St-Emilion is now one of the most sought-after wines in Bordeaux."

About the Wine
"Strawberry and vanilla flavors... Delicious, and very elegant."
