Christian Balog beschreibt den Wein wie folgt:Die Nase ist recht dunkelfruchtig mit viel schwarzer Brombeere und Holunder, auch eine kühle minzige Note ist im Duft. Am Gaumen sehr schön fleischig, nix hartes, die Säure hilf den Wein und trägt das aromatische mittlere bis Volle Finale. 93-95 Punkte

The Grand Vin 2021 Château Valandraud checks in as 85% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon, and it's still resting all in new barrels. Deep purple-hued, with rocking bouquet of ripe black and blue fruits, chocolate, spicy oak, and spring flowers, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, velvety, ripe tannins, terrific mid-palate depth, and one heck of an impressive finish. Despite the new barrels, this wine leads with its fruit, has everything in the right places, and delivers notable freshness as well as a great finish. I'd put it up with any of the top wines out there.

William Kelly zum Chateau Valandraud 2021 Saint Emilion (April 2022):Opening in the glass with inviting aromas of dark berries, baking chocolate, exotic spices and vanilla pod, the 2021 Valandraud is a medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy wine that's seamless and layered, exhibiting impressive concentration, beautifully ripe tannins and a long, succulent finish. Bursting with fruit, this is an especially elegant Valandraud, with below-average alcohol at 13.5%, but it doesn't lack for anything. Tasted four times, twice at the château.
Der Chateau Valandraud 2021 Saint Emilion am Gaumen von James Suckling (Mai 2022):A medium-to full-bodied red with a plush, ripe yet very balanced core of blue and purple fruit. Nicely textured with fine, creamy tannins. Round and smooth.
