Red wine
3 De Valandraud St Emilion Grand Cru
This is a full on St. Emilion GC. A blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and for bit more umph, Malbec. It packs power and concentration but retains balance, elegance and refreshment. It has aromas of red and black fruit – plums, cherries and blackberries along with vanilla and earth. It is lush and silky in texture. Decant 30 minutes to an hour before drinking to allow the wine to soften and open.

the producer
Jean-Luc Thunevin
Jean-Luc is one of the biggest names in Bordeaux. With his wife Murielle, he produced his first Valandraud wine in his garage, coining the term and marketing concept “garage wine”. They have since created Virginie de Valandraud and 3 de Valandraud, and have added the properties of Clos du Beau-Pere and Domaine des Sabines to the portfolio. Both Jean-Luc and his wines have now achieved a worldwide cult-following. From a St. Emilion garage to a global showroom, so to speak.
