VIRGINIE de VALANDRAUD BLANC
Second vin blanc du Château Valandraud
- 2024 Futures
- Bordeaux dry white
Second wine from Château Valandraud.
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."
