VALANDRAUD BLANC
Dry white wine from Château Valandraud
- 2023 Futures
- Bordeaux dry white
The great white wine of Ch. Valandraud, with a sparkling sap and balance. With only 4000 bottles produced, it is a nugget that will do wonders on the table in 5 years (to take advantage of its youthful brilliance) or in 15 years.
A blend of predominantly Sauvignon Gris and Sauvignon Blanc grapes, topped up with Semillon.
Quarin : 95/100 « Couleur jaune vert. Nez intense, au fruité mûr et subtil. Notes de menthe poivrée à l'agitation du verre. Gras à l'attaque, complexe en milieu de bouche, avec une saveur originale de fruits exotiques, le vin se développe minutieux et fondant. Il s'achève long et incrachable. »
Galloni : 92-94/100 « The 2023 Valandraud Blanc is a rich, textured white with tons of appeal. Today, the aromatics are not totally defined, but that is not unusual for dry whites tasted from barrel. What impresses most about the Blanc is its overall presence and persistence. To be sure, this is one of the more extroverted dry whites in Bordeaux. »
