2014 vintage. Named after Valandraud owner Jean-Luc Thunevin's daughter, this estate is planted with 100% Merlot vines, on average 40 years old. Delicious medium-bodied Saint-Emilion-like Bordeaux with a hint of truffle in the nose. Smooth and silky at perfect maturity. Good value at 9,5 euro.

She's a very "dirty girl" - in a good way! Wife of famed Saint-Emilion garagiste, Jean-Luc Thunevin of Chateau Valandraud.

Pop and pour through an aerator. Nose: menthol, herbs, blackberry. A little toffee. Promising. Taste: pretty good! Distinct blackberry, some raspberry. Tannins pretty smooth. I really like it! 90. Great deal for the $11 I paid on sale - $10 after the case discount!

Paired with ground turkey and vegetables. Wine was great but didn't pair well.
