Antonio Galloni
The 2025 Valandraud is breathtaking. It’s the first vintage made by Jean-Luc Thunevin and Marie Lefevere together. It therefore represents a changing of the guard, now that Lefevere and her husband, Christophe, have taken full ownership of the property after many years holding a minority stake. Vibrant and explosive in the glass, the 2025 Valandraud offers an exotic melange of dark blue/purplish fruit, lavender, spice and mocha. There`s gorgeous precision here, much of that coming from more finesse in the tannins. The 2025 is utterly magnificent. Elevage is 90% new oak and 10% 15HL foudres). Tasted two times. 96-99 points
