Château Valandraud, a dream came true
Château Valandraud represents the culmination of the passion of wine enthusiasts Jean-Luc Thunevin and Murielle Andraud. Founded in 1991, Château Valandraud originated from a modest 0.6 ha vineyard, which was purchased with the couple's entire savings. This small plot, located in the Fongaban Valley near neighbors Pavie Macquin and La Clotte, inspired the estate's name—'Val' from valley and 'Andraud', Murielle's family name, a presence in the Saint Emilion registry since 1459.
Today, the estate spans 8.88 ha across the clay-limestone hills and slopes of Saint Etienne de Lisse, cultivating a diverse blend of grape varieties: 65% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Malbec, and 1% Carmenère. The estate's elevation to 1st Classified Growth status in 2012 marked a significant milestone for Château Valandraud.

The year 2024, although marked by fluctuating climatic conditions, allowed us to produce red wines of exceptional quality, thanks to the resilience and expertise of the men and women working in our vineyards.

Floral aromas add a touch of finesse, inviting you to enjoy this wine in its youth.
