VALANDRAUD BLANC
Dry white wine from Château Valandraud

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.

Bettane+Desseauve : 95-96/100 “Rock powder, incense, fine honey, green pepper and rhubarb combine to create a sensual and refined bouquet. Citrus, white fruits and gooseberries carry this stimulating tension through to a taut and elegant finish.”

J-M Quarin : 95/100 “Delicate on the palate at first, very, very aromatic in the mid-palate, the wine develops into a smooth, elegant finish with a long, delicious aftertaste.”

Vinous (N. Martin) : 93-95/100 "The 2025 Valandraud Blanc was picked between September 4 and 9, with a little more Sauvignon Gris and Semillon this year, and also more aged in terracotta amphorae (30%). This has a complex nose that is engaging, scents of white flowers, yellow plum, almond and light mango. The palate is well balanced, with a keen line of acidity, lightly spiced with a dab of stem ginger, quite linear towards the finish and a twist of lemon rind on the aftertaste, intermixed with lemon thyme. Very fine."

Vinous (A. Galloni) : 93-95/100 « The 2025 Valandraud Blanc is a rare Sauvignon Gris-driven white. Lemon peel, sage, tomato leaf, crushed rocks and slate are all dialed up. The Blanc offers a compelling mix of textural richness and varietal character. Stylistically, it has more tension and energy than the Virginie Blanc."
