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.

For such a solid vintage I would have expected this to be showing better.. but the wine is good. The winery seems cool, 9 acre right bank vineyard, mostly merlot, 50% concrete the rest is used oak. The wine is much better younger, would have given it a 90+ a year or two ago. If I come across a current vintage I'll buy it for sure... something like $14/btl...

Best of my "$15 bottles" that my guy tossed in my order. Sometimes, $15 gets you a great wine. I like that.

High QPR. Bright. Full body. Good tannins. Still going strong! Great value.

Ugh. Maybe it was just a bad bottle but this was the worst wine I ever tasted.
