The 2010 Vintage...



James Suckling has started publishing a few marks and comments on his Bordeaux 2010 Tastings among which our very own Valandraud 2010 receiving a very good 95/100. Though it seems James preferred our 2009 Valandraud which received 97/100. I’m just wondering if Robert Parker and James Molesworth agree with him…

At lunch I tasted both of these wines during a visit from two of my wine merchant friends from Bordeaux and I’m waiting for their opinions…

The 2010 Valandraud Blanc, given 95/100, should be one of the best Bordeaux whites of this vintage according to James Suckling.

The Wine Spectator marks are out, James Molesworth marked a lot of wines, a lot of Bordeaux 2010 and that’s good news because therefore there are a lot of ‘small’ chateaux, small prices, branded wines and good deals to be had. 

For example our own Domaine Virginie Thunevin 2010 Bordeaux with 89 points, or our Domaine des Sabines, Château Bellevue de Tayac or the Clos du Beau Père with 90 points…
