- Producer Notes
- Named after Murielle Andraud and Jean Luc Thunevin’s daughter, Virginie, this cuvée was created in 1992 as the 2nd wine of Château Valandraud. Since the 1997 vintage, with the expansion of the Thunevin vineyards in the Saint Emilion appellation, Virginie de Valandraud has had its own vineyards and its own identity while being cultivated in the same way and vinified in our cellars by the same technical team as Valandraud.

2009 Vintage
Tasted: Jan 2013
This sweet-tasting, fruity wine features a delicious, fragrant, juicy blackberry flavor. Its tannins are solid, but they are secondary to the generous fruits.
2009 Vintage
Tasted: Jul 2011
This offers an attractive, licorice, floral, blackberry jam, coffee scented perfume, round textures and a supple, chocolate covered dark jammy berry finish. This should deliver a lot of charm early.
2009 Vintage
Tasted: Apr 2010
Saftige, frische Heidelbeerfrucht, Mandarinen und Orangenanklänge, feine tabakige Würze, mineralischer Hauch. Stoffig, straff, präsente Tannine, frisch strukturiert, mineralische, gute Länge.
