Classification: Château Valandraud started as a humble garage winery, and its initial success and quality led to it being considered a "garage wine." These were small-scale, boutique wineries producing exceptional wines with limited production and resources. Over time, Château Valandraud gained recognition and acclaim, and it was eventually classified as a Grand Cru in the Saint-Émilion classification system.

Innovation: Château Valandraud is known for its innovative practices and willingness to challenge traditional winemaking norms. This spirit of experimentation has contributed to the unique character of their wines.
