2024 Château Valandraud Virginie de Valandraud Bordeaux Blanc

Virginie de Valandraud Bordeaux Blanc is the white expression from the acclaimed Château Valandraud estate, bringing polished Bordeaux character with a modern, boutique sensibility. From one of Saint-Émilion’s most celebrated names, it offers a refined and limited-production style that stands out for its freshness, precision, and pedigree.

Tasting Notes
Expect a bright, pale straw color with a clean, luminous sheen. The nose typically leans toward citrus blossom, white peach, pear, and subtle herbal or mineral notes, with a gently creamy undertone that adds depth. On the palate, it is usually crisp and well-balanced, combining lively acidity with a supple, rounded texture. The finish is fresh and persistent, making it appealing in its youth, though it can gain additional nuance over the next few years if cellared carefully.

Production
Produced in Bordeaux, the wine reflects the estate’s careful approach to terroir and quality, with grapes sourced from select vineyard parcels suited to white Bordeaux production. While detailed vinification information is not provided, Château Valandraud is known for precise harvesting and meticulous cellar work aimed at preserving aromatic purity and freshness.

Food & Serving
Ideal with oysters, grilled prawns, seafood salads, goat cheese, or light chicken dishes with herbs and lemon. Serve well chilled, around 8–10°C, and decanting is generally not necessary, though a short aeration can help open the aromatics if desired.

Producer
Château Valandraud is a landmark modern Bordeaux estate founded by Jean-Luc and Murielle Thunevin, and it became one of the original “garage wine” success stories. Best known for its role in reshaping perceptions of quality in Saint-Émilion, the château has earned a strong reputation for ambition, innovation, and consistently высоко regarded wines.
