In the mouth
Rich and profound on the palate, with considerable depth and complexity. The wine unfolds with elegance, revealing multiple dimensions and a persistent finish that speaks to its pedigree.
On the nose
Ripe dark fruits mingle with spice and liquorice, whilst oak élevage contributes subtle toasted and vanilla undertones. The aromatic profile is layered and inviting.
On the eye
Deep garnet
Breeding
In barrels (predominantly new oak) for approximately 20 months
This wine pairs beautifully with roasted game birds—quail, for instance—accompanied by seasonal vegetables. The wine's structure and aromatic complexity complement the delicate gaminess of such dishes, whilst its tannins provide balance against richer preparations. A versatile choice for the discerning table.

CHATEAU VALANDRAUD
Situated in Saint-Étienne-de-Lisse in the Gironde, Château Valandraud is a Premier Grand Cru Classé B of the Saint-Émilion appellation, farmed across 10 hectares of clay-limestone soils by Thunevin SAS. Founded in 1989 by Jean-Luc Thunevin and Murielle Andraud, this château wrote one of the most remarkable chapters in modern Bordeaux: starting from just 0.6 hectares vinified in a garage in 1991, it earned Premier Grand Cru Classé B status in the 2012 classification. At Halles Quercamps, we have selected this château for the rigour of its HVE-certified viticulture, the precision of its Merlot-led blends, and the extraordinary trajectory of a producer that genuinely redefined what Saint-Émilion could be. A Bordeaux reference we are proud to list.
