2009: The 2009 Valandraud has a ripe and opulent bouquet with precocious red fruit, fig and rose petals, a little warmth of alcohol blurring the edges and becoming more tarry with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent plush, saturated tannin. This is sleek and modern in style, heady and concentrated with a decadent finish. It conveys a sense of purity. The bottle tasted in 2017 showed a tad more precision on the finish. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners’ 2009 Bordeaux tasting.

96 Punkte 2010: The 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. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners 10-Year On Bordeaux horizontal.

88 Punkte 2011: The 2011 Valandraud has never been one of my favourite vintages from Jean-Luc Thunevin, and I've always had some reservations. This example has quite a volatile nose, a little acetic though it does appear to improve in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, good grip with brambly red fruit, white pepper and whilst there is good substance on the finish, it just lacks some amplitude. I have had much better bottles in the past. Tasted blind at the annual 10-Year-On tasting.

2009: There’s richness and decadence to this red with currant, chocolate and walnut. Full-bodied with linear tannins and a long, fresh finish. Racy, energetic and focused at the end. Drink or hold. (2022)

98 Punkte 2010: A wine with superb class and length with blackberry, black chocolate and walnut. A cool spearmint undertone. Full-bodied. Very fine and tight grained. The length is very impressive and alluring. Sophisticated. Drink or hold. (2022)

96 Punkte: This is very velvety with berry, walnut, chocolate and light coffee character. It’s medium-bodied with layers of tannins. Open-meshed. Velvety texture. Fresh for the year. Lovely now. Drink now. (2022)

Showing beautifully, the 2009 Château Valandraud has shed considerable baby fat and reveals an incredibly classic, balanced, nuanced style today. Textbook notes of blackcurrants, white truffle, lead pencil, balsam wood, and hints of chocolate emerge from the glass. These carry to a full-bodied, concentrated Saint-Emilion with a layered, multi-dimensional texture, sweet tannins, and just a sexy, opulent, undeniably delicious style that's a joy to drink. It's rock star stuff today yet has another 10-15 years of prime drinking, after which I suspect a gradual decline. (2020)

Wine Spectator

93 POINTS

Nicely toasty, with lovely mocha and cocoa notes framing the core of ripe, enticing plum, blackberry and boysenberry fruit. Shows a lovely echo of ganache through the finish. A very flattering style, with gorgeous mouthfeel and ample depth. Best from 2015 through 2025.

Parker – Wine Advocate

97 POINTS

Deep garnet colored, the 2010 Valandraud comes bounding out of the glass with exuberant blueberry compote, Black Forest cake and plum preserves notions, plus hints of underbrush, camphor and licorice. Full-bodied, rich and seductive, it has a gorgeous velvety texture and great freshness supporting the decadent fruit through the long, energetic finish.
