Valandraud Virginie de Valandraud Bordeaux Blanc 2018

“Based on 50% Sémillon, 40% Sauvignon Blanc, and 10% Sauvignon Gris, the 2018 Château Valandraud Virginie De Valandraud Blanc is another fresh, racy, yet concentrated white from this estate. Honeyed lemon, melon ball, sappy herbs, and floral notes all emerge from the glass, and it's nicely textured, medium-bodied, and beautifully balanced. I don't think it's going to live as long as the Valandraud Blanc, but it should keep nicely for 4-6 years, if you're so inclined.” - 93 PTS, JEB DUNNUCK

“Bright, fresh lemons, grapefruit and a touch of yellow tropical fruit and honeysuckle combine to produce a sweet, fresh, fruity citrus oriented wine that is already delicious to drink.” - 91 PTS, JEFF LEVE, THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER (03/2021)
