VIRGINIE de VALANDRAUD BLANC
Second vin blanc du Château Valandraud
- 2025 Futures
- Bordeaux dry white
Second wine from Château Valandraud.
Bettane+Desseauve : 95/100 “The blend of Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc produces a white Bordeaux of great purity. Vibrant and briny, the wine impresses with its sharpness and energy. A favourite.”
J-M Quarin : 92/100 “Delicate on the palate, subtle on the mid-palate, and full of flavour, the wine finishes light and fragrant. Good length.”
Vinous (A. Galloni) : 91-93/100 "The 2025 Virginie de Valandraud Blanc is ample, creamy and super expressive right out of the gate. Lemon confit, marzipan, white flowers and apricot fill out the layers. There's gorgeous textural depth and resonance here, a result of the warm, dry year and the heavy presence of Sémillon in the blend."
Vinous (N. Martin) : 90-92/100 "The 2025 Virginie de Valandraud Blanc is a blend of 60% Semillon and 40% Sauvignon Blanc, the inverse of last year, aged in 75% new oak and the newly introduced 25% in terracotta jars. It has a slightly reserved nose that opens with lime flower, chamomile and yellow flowers. It just needs a little coaxing. The palate is well balanced with fine balance, lovely texture thanks to the Semillon and a dab of ginger towards the finish. Very fine."
