Virginie de Valandraud 2018 – Bordeaux Blanc

The nose is fresh, mineral, fruity and offers intensity as well as a small concentration. It reveals notes of juicy/fresh peach, juicy/fresh pear and small notes of fresh lemon zests associated with touches of fresh citrus (lemon, kumquat) as well as fine hints of flowers and very fine hints of toasted/vanilla. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a small unctuosity, gourmandize, a fine acidulous frame, fullness, a fine grain, a beautiful freshness, minerality as well as a beautiful tension. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fleshy/juicy pear, fleshy/juicy peach and small notes of apple associated with a touch of juicy/ripe kumquat, fine hints of pineapple, quenette, quince as well as very fine hints of fresh grapefruit and discreet hints of vanilla (in the background). Good length.
