Ripe black plum and currant flavors define the 2020 Chateau Valandraud Esprit de Valandraud, layered with red cherry, dark chocolate and a subtle saline-mineral edge. The palate is full-bodied yet poised, with velvety, supportive tannins and a cool, gently minty finish that reflects the warm but well-controlled vintage. Already seductive in its richness, it will gain further nuance with a bit more time in bottle.
Grilled lamb chops with rosemary, Roast duck with cherry jus, Dry-aged ribeye steak
