Château Valandraud St Emilion Grand Cru Virginie de Valandraud 2019

Powerful black fruits with plenty of depth, this is an excellent 2nd wine where you get chiselled and nuanced black cherry, coffee, cocoa bean, black olive paste and concentrated truffle notes. This is ambitious and you feel it at every step, but there is complexity here also. Stands out, and provides a great runway to the main estate wine of Valandraud. 100% new oak.
