Château Valandraud

Saint-Émilion Grand Cru

Château Valandraud was founded in 1989 by a couple passionate about wine, Murielle Andraud and Jean-Luc Thunevin, following their initial purchase of a 0.6-hectare plot in the Fongaban valley, between Château Pavie- Macquin, La Clotte and the village of Saint-Emilion.

A STORY

In a few words

In 1999, Jean-Luc and Murielle invested in cool and late-ripening terroirs on the Saint-Etienne de Lisse plateau.

 

A pioneer in the garage wine movement, Château Valandraud was promoted to Saint-Emilion Premier Grand Cru Classé status in 2012, and renewed in 2022.

 

Since the 2020 vintage, the estate has benefited from a state-of-the-art bioclimatic cellar dug into the limestone plateau. The building is covered with solar panels and a green roof, reflecting the Château’s solid philosophy to produce the best wine possible while respecting the environment
