Virginie de Valandraud Blanc 2019 is a refined and elegant white Bordeaux from the prestigious Château Valandraud, a Saint-Émilion Premier Grand Cru Classé (B) estate renowned for its precision and modern winemaking approach.
 
Crafted by Jean-Luc Thunevin and Murielle Andraud, pioneers of the “garage wine” movement, this wine represents the estate’s second label, offering exceptional quality and character while remaining approachable in style.
 
A classic Bordeaux white blend of Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc, this wine beautifully balances richness with freshness. The 2019 vintage delivers a complex aromatic profile of citrus, stone fruit, quince, and delicate floral notes, layered with subtle oak influence.
 
On the palate, it is poised and expressive, showing pear, nectarine, and orange zest, supported by a fine thread of acidity. A gentle touch of integrated oak (20–30% new) adds texture and depth, while the finish remains fresh, lively, and elegant.
 
A superb example of modern Bordeaux Blanc, offering both immediate enjoyment and short-term ageing potential.
