Description

Château Valandraud - Esprit de Valandraud is the second wine of the prestigious Château Valandraud, located in the Saint-Émilion appellation of Bordeaux. Classified as a Saint-Émilion Grand Cru, Esprit de Valandraud is crafted with the same attention to detail as the estate's Grand Vin but offers a more approachable style while still showcasing the elegance and complexity of the region. This wine typically blends Merlot with smaller amounts of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, reflecting the richness of Saint-Émilion's terroir. Aged in French oak barrels, Esprit de Valandraud is a polished and sophisticated expression of Bordeaux.

Tasting Notes

NOSE:
On the nose, Esprit de Valandraud presents aromas of ripe blackberries, black cherries, and plums, with nuances of cedar, graphite, and vanilla. There are also subtle hints of tobacco, licorice, and dark chocolate.

TASTE:
On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied with velvety tannins and well-balanced acidity. The fruit flavors are deep and concentrated, layered with earthy tones, minerality, and a touch of oak spice.

FINISH:
The finish is long and persistent, with notes of ripe berries, cocoa, and a hint of leather, revealing the wine's aging potential.

Food Pairing

Château Valandraud - Esprit de Valandraud pairs beautifully with hearty dishes such as grilled lamb, beef tenderloin, or duck breast with a red wine reduction. The wine’s structure and tannins also make it a great match for slow-cooked stews like beef bourguignon or osso buco. For a vegetarian option, try pairing it with roasted root vegetables or a rich mushroom risotto. Aged cheeses like Comté, Gouda, or blue cheese also complement the wine’s complexity and depth. Its elegant and balanced profile makes it an excellent choice for special occasions or refined dinners.
