The Wine Advocate

"Opaque purple-black colored, the 2020 Valandraud bursts with scents of crushed black plums, boysenberries and blackberry preserves, followed by hints of dusty soil, garrigue and clove oil. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers a lot of energetic, crunchy black fruits with a lively backbone and beautifully ripe, rounded tannins, finishing long and fragrant."

Decanter Magazine

"This is excellent, broad-shouldered with ample depth to the brambled fruits, liquorice, cigar box spice, with a gorgeously saline finish. Chalky, grippy tannins keep tugging you back into the body of the wine. The tannic grip is helped by a linen rather than silk texture that stops things being overly smooth and instead adds depth and interest to the powerfully knitted body, as do white flowers on the aromatics as it opens. Good stuff. 100% new oak for 24 months. A yield of 49hl/ha. Thunevin has sold a 50% stake in Valandraud to the Lefevre family at Sansonnet (also the new owners of Villemaurine, so a busy year for them)."

Jancis Robinson

"Cask sample. Overtly oaky on the nose, with layers of toast and smoke. It's a very flattering style (perhaps deliberately, for this en primeur sample?) and the fruit definitely plays second fiddle to the oak. Even so, that fruit is ripe, attractive and plush. If the oak integrates more, which it likely will, then this has a lot going for it."

Richard Hemming MW 17,5+/20

 

"Full, embossed bottle 1,360 g. Undated cask sample. 90% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc, 3% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged for 24 months in 100% new oak!
Lustrous blackish purple. Strong nose of charred meat. This is distinctive all right… Very intense, concentrated sweet purple-fruit flavours. Cassis compote? Chock-full of ambition though the acidity on the finish makes it a less comfortable drink than many of its peers. It seems all scrunched up with ambition with a rather drying finish. It may well flower beautifully eventually but it's at a much more embryonic phase than many of its peers. Rather Pavie-ish at this point."

Jeff Leve

"Completely opaque in color, the wine grabs you with camphor, flowers, plum liqueur, licorice, blueberry, cherry pie and Asian spice aromas. THedonism at its best, this a bringing sexy back to wine with all its layers of voluptuous, opulent, palate staining fruits. Yet, even with all of that going on, the wine remains fresh, focused and complex. The array of sensations here is exactly what the doctor ordered. If you can wait a decade before popping a cork, this is going to be a true cellar treasure. No guts no glory. But you can quote me. This is the best vintage of Valandraud ever produced."

Revue du Vin de France

"La densité d’une chair mûre et riche expose sa profondeur sur un profil très net. La richesse du palais passe par une texture veloutée, une sucrosité savoureuse de fruit noir mûr (cassis). Un tanin crayeux rehausse l’ensemble sur une finale plus minérale."

James Suckling

"Wow. This is really super polished with incredible length and intensity, offering blackberries and hazelnuts. Superb richness that is reserved and poised. Great length. Full-bodied, extremely long and exciting."

Markus del Monego MW

"Dark purple colour with violet hue and black core. Powerful, refined and expressive nose, with aroma reminiscent of fresh groundcoffeebeans, dark chocolate, vanilla, oriental spices and hints of smoke. Backed by opulent and ripe fruit, blackberries, Refined nose with very subtle yet persistent fruit, elderberries, blackberries and blackcherries, fine almost smoky minerality in the background. Elegant floral hints. On the palate multi-layered character with ripefruit, fine floral hints,distinct toasting flavour and excellent length. A wine in the  typical Valandraud style with opulence, full of character."

Jeb Dunnuck

"Winemaker Jean-Luc Thunevin has hit a home run in the vintage, and his 2020 Château Valandraud is unquestionably up with the crème de la crème out there. Made in a ripe, sexy, plush style, it brings an incredible amount of ripe black fruit, chocolate, vanilla, espresso, and leafy herb-like aromas and flavors. This carries to a full-bodied, powerful Saint-Emilion that somehow stays weightless and graceful on the palate, with moderate acidity, ripe tannins, and a great, great finish."

VINOUS

"The 2020 Valandraud is impressive. Inky, deep and exquisitely layered, it possesses tremendous richness in every dimension. crème de cassis, chocolate, licorice, new leather, spice and lavender build as the 2020 gains volume in the glass. Silky and plush, with magnificent balance, this is shaping up to be one of the wines of the year. A magnificent effort from Muriel Andraud and Jean-Luc Thunevin. Superb. Tasted two times."

Antonio Galloni 95-97 Punkte

 

"The 2020 Valandraud has a deep purple hue and delivers an intense bouquet of lush blackberry, raspberry, cassis and crushed violet aromas, all beautifully defined. The palate is very well balanced with a sensual opening. This’ll have you smitten from the first sip: silky-smooth with immense depth and harmony. There is tension and precision from start to finish. This 2020 continues a startling run of form by Jean-Luc Thunevin, this representing one of his crowning achievements to date. Chapeau!"

Falstaff

"Im Duft Heidelbeere. Kräftiges Neuholz. Vanille. Lakritze. Am Gaumen dicht mit fleischigem Gerbstoff bepackt, sehr kompakt, saftig auflösend, intensive miner- alische Frische, viel Spannung, eine abgeklärte Struktur ohne jeden Exzess. Passend geschmeidig unterlegt, sehr gute Länge. Der Alkohol bleibt nahezu unmerklich trotz 15 Volumenprozent."

Le figaro

"Un nez séducteur de bonbons acidulés. Une bouche charnue et solaire de fruits noirs bien mûrs, et des tannins boisés encore très présents."

Anthocyanes

"Marqué par le bois, le nez recèle toutefois de belles notes de fruits frais, de violette, de cassis et de myrtille. En bouche, le boisé est présent, presque dominant. Cela enrobe l'ensemble, le sucre un peu mais masque la délicatesse et la texture charnue de ce vin. Un temps de bouteille effacera tout cela pour lui apporter de la patine et surtout un très bel avenir. La note pourrait être supérieure après les élevages."
