Valandraud other_regions If you you have theThe 2010 Valandraud has a well defined bouquet, the fruit slightly darker than its peers, quite mineral driven and precise. This feels very lively and energetic. The palate is medium bodied with supple tannins, plenty of black fruit laced with tar and black pepper. This is a superb Right Bank with class and pedigree.
