Valandraud Blanc 2024 – Bordeaux Blanc

The nose is fruity and fresh, with good definition, freshness, a little mellowness, depth, a lovely gastronomic side and a fine tannic side to the approach. It reveals notes of quince, small Sauvignon Gris-type yellow fruits and, more lightly, pear, associated with touches of small bright fruits as well as a discreet hint of brioche. The palate is well-built, supple and gourmand, with a lovely mellowness, tension and precision. It expresses notes of fleshy/pulpy pear, kumquat and, more lightly, small bright/juicy yellow fruits, combined with touches of apricot, a hint of pineapple as well as a hint of quince. Good length. A nice tannic side to the structure. A well-built wine, fruity, gourmand, with a flamboyant side.
