Red wine
Chateau Bellevue de Tayac Margaux AC Cru Bourgeois
You can taste Jean-Luc’s influence in this vintage – soft vanilla and cedar from up to 18 months aging in 100% new French oak barrels. It is a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. It is part micro-vinified in barrels and you can tell from the richness and smooth texture. Expect aromas of ripe fruit – red plums, black cherries and blackberries. The vines grow on gravel over clay soil – thus benefiting from good drainage but with access to low level moisture if required.

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.
