The domains’ proprietor, Jean Luc Thunevin, is a self-taught professional who took part in the Bordeaux Aristocratic revival of the 1990’s. For decades, Bordeaux’s greatest wines were indignantly overlooked and his constant desire for perfection provided a dynamic awakening of this regions’ products.

Today Valandraud is one of the most celebrated domains of the Right Bank: a new cultural methodology, technical innovations in vinification… His appreciation of a good challenge motivated him to begin production on the finest kosher wines the world has ever seen, a task has undoubtedly achieved. Praised by critics (“the best kosher wine I have ever tasted” raves Robert Parker), never before has the public encountered such a beautiful kosher wine.

The sharing of a magical and unforgettable wine such as the kosher Valandraud is an occasion that must be experienced at least once in your lifetime.

The entire range of kosher Valandraud vintages from 2000 to 2005 is available in our cellars (contact us for their Mevushal versions).

Italy’s undeniable viticultural tradition and historic know-how made it impossible for us to forsake. We have selected the Falesco domain, in the reins of Ricardo Cotarella – Professor of Viticulture and Oenology – to represent this country’s fine wines. Originating in Montefiascone (Lazio, north of Rome) and subsequently moving to Umbria, this domain is applauded for the remarkable quality of its award-winning wines and also for its experimentation with indigenous varietals and their adaptation to local soils.

Two prestigious cuvees have been manufactured by our teams :

- Cuvee Marciliano Kosher 2005 (IGT Umbria) fine blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc

- Cuvee Ferentano Kosher 2005 (IGT Lazio) issuing from local varietal, the Roescetto

While currently in the bottling stages, these cuvees will be available from September/October 2007.
