Readers may not know it, but this team makes some incredible whites. The 2020 Virginie De Valandraud Blanc has a beautiful perfume of bright citrus, lemon pith, and chalky minerality as well as a medium to full-bodied, concentrated, yet still racy and vibrant style on the palate. It's gorgeous today, but this will evolve gracefully for 15 years.
The 2020 Virginie de Valandraud Blanc has a very attractive nose of lime, honeysuckle, Williams pear and a hint of lemon thyme. The palate is very well balanced with fine acidity, taut and fresh, the Sémillon firmly in the driving seat with nectarine, peach, melon and guava towards the finish. Not complex, but certainly enjoyable.
The 2020 Virginie de Valandraud Blanc is a very pretty and expressive dry white. Hints of passionfruit, tangerine oil, mint and pineapple all grace this airy, weightless white.
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.
