$350 let’s open it up. Delicious drinking full bodied but light. Perfect for pork chops! 2/25 — 2 years ago
2018 vintage. 100% Merlot from this estate in Lalande de Fronsac, named after Valandraud owner Jean-Luc Thunevin's daughter. Another sexy Bordeaux value. Good concentration, ripe fruit, ripe tannin and good acidity. A little alcohol heat in the finish prevents it from a higher score, but very good value at less than 10 euros. — 5 years ago
It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Strong nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity and mouthfeel.
Showing black fruits with cedar, chocolates, coffee, light earth, herbs, tobacco and black pepper.
This is a delicious Merlot from Saint Emilion. Complex and nicely balanced. Rich and spicy.
Still young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly, but already drinking beautifully.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years. A great vintage that is very giving at the moment.
Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food.
A blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc. Aged for 22 months in new French oak barrels.
15% alcohol by volume.
92 points.

An easy everyday Bordeaux as it’s affordable. Very fruit forward with spice but finish is lacking. — 6 years ago
Primary smell of black currant, dark berries, while after swirling the secondary aromas came as vanilla and spices.
Fantastic acidity to the palate, well balanced. Great ratio on price/quality. — a year ago
Cor intensa mas não vibrante. Corpo médio. Aroma de frutas e um pouco de álcool. O sabor é de vinho maduro e com amadeirado bem evidente. — 5 years ago
A dry yet juicy wine from the Bordeaux area with cherry notes. Excellent with a beef tenderloin! — 6 years ago
