Château Valandraud - 1er GC classé B - 2017 - St-Emilion Grand Cru Château Petit Village Robert Parker's Wine Advocate :Robert Parker's Wine Advocate : The deep garnet purple colored 2017 Valandraud gives up crushed blackcurrants, chocolate covered cherries and espresso on the nose with hints of licorice, tar and smoked meats. The palate is medium bodied with a solid frame of ripe, sweet tannins and just enough freshness to contain the bombastic fruit, finishing long and berry laced.
