VALANDRAUD BLANC
Dry white wine from Château Valandraud
- 2024 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.
Vinous (A. Galloni) : 94-96 "The 2024 Valandraud Blanc is magnificent. Bright, aromatic and sculpted, the 2024 sizzles with tension and energy. There's plenty of substance beneath, however. Lemon confit, white flowers, slate, chalk and mint are all beautifully delineated in this captivating, dynamic white. The 2024 is fabulous. That's all there is to it."
J-M Quarin : 93/100 « Couleur jaune vert. Beau nez intense, fin, pur, fruité et subtil. Moelleux à l'attaque, suave en milieu de bouche, très aromatique et légèrement compoté, le vin finit long et agréable. »
Vinous (N. Martin) : 92-94/100 "The 2024 Valandraud Blanc is less expressive than the Virginie at the moment, but there is more concentration and honeysuckle scent that evolves in the glass. The palate is well balanced with a tangy, orange pith and mandarin-tinged entry. It has a keen line of acidity with a composed and persistent finish. I like the energy here."
