Note di degustazione
I always love this white, and the 2019 Château Valandraud Virginie De Valandraud Blanc is terrific, with notes of bright lemon, quince, and honeyed peach in a ripe, medium-bodied, concentrated, brilliantly focused and still racy package that's a joy to drink. It might be the finest vintage of this cuvée to date, and it's a hidden gem if you love high-quality Bordeaux Blanc.

Notes of sweet orchard fruit, lemongrass, confit citrus and new oak introduce the 2019 Virginie de Valandraud Blanc, a medium to full-bodied, richly layered wine that remains bright and precise, concluding with a chalky finish.
The 2019 Virginie de Valandraud Blanc has a well-defined bouquet featuring touches of wild peach and honeysuckle, and a faint hazelnut scent that emerges with time. The oak here (20–30% new) is well integrated. The balanced palate delivers a fine bead of acidity, notes of pear, nectarine and orange zest, and a lively, fresh finish. Very fine.
The 2019 Virginie de Valandraud Blanc offers a terrific interplay of texture and vibrancy. Lime, mint, pineapple and white flowers lend striking aromatic presence. The 2019 Virginie is a total knock-out.
Informazioni sul produttore
One of the first garage wines, Ch. Valandraud was created by Jean-Luc Thunevin – Saint-Emilion’s “bad boy”. Today the style of the wine is much more restrained, and officially classified as a Premier Grand Cru Classé B estate.
