Readers of the Wine Advocate and collectors of the micro-produced
"garage" wines of Saint Emilion know Valandraud to be the first of
these remarkable specialty wines to be made in Bordeaux. Fashioned with
an attention to detail impossible at larger estates, Valandraud is one
of the most intense, complex and dramatic red wines made in France.
First encounters are almost shocking, as if the wine were made at
Harlan or Screaming Eagle but drier and more refined. Proprietor
Jean-Luc Thunevin and wife Murielle were perspicacious enough to make
100 cases of the very first 'garage' Kosher wine in the world! Deeply
colored. Rich, tight, brooding nose at first but the 2001 slowly
unfolds to reveal very enticing black raspberry and bitter chocolate
aromas. Sweet, supple and broad but not at all over the top. Rich
flavors of cocoa powder and spices. Decidedly modern in style on the
palate, with well-extracted fruit. The wine's big, rich, chewy tannins
are a bit stern, but the wine's length is impressive. Excellent acidity
keeps everything moving like a wagon train across the palate. Get it at KosherCuvee.com
