Valandraud 1992

"1992 Chateau Valandraud, St Emilion (from imperial, as all good wine should be)

This wine ashamed me.  I’ve slagged off Valandraud in the past (over-priced Parkerised fruitjuice) despite never having tasted it.  But it’s second vintage (and it had a difficult start in 91, 92, 93 & 94), made in perhaps the trickiest year in recent history, was just lovely.  Energetic fruit, a buzz that the modern style of St Emilion shows.  Highly impressive.  Jean-Luc Thunevin apparently can’t remember how many imps he bottled – somewhere between three and six – and they were done by hand on his kitchen table.  Unpriceable class.  And I am a fool." 

Merci Joss !
