Virginie de Valandraud 2024 – Bordeaux Blanc

The nose is fruity, fresh, elegant and precise, with good precision, energy and discreetly tight. It reveals notes of green peach, small fresh/juicy fruits and, more lightly, bright apple, associated with fine hints of exotic fruit as well as subtle touches of fresh kumquat. On the palate, the wine is well-built, fruity, balanced and brilliant, with a fresh, tangy frame, suppleness, precision, tension and gourmandise. It also offers juicy fleshiness, freshness, energy and a lovely finesse in its roundness and in its sticking. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of kumquat, brilliant peach and, more lightly, fairly ripe citrus, combined with touches of fleshy apricot. There are also notes of pulpy apple, fleshy/juicy peach and, more lightly, kumquat, associated with touches of juicy/fleshy apricot, as well as hints of pineapple, small, fairly ripe yellow berries, a subtle, almost spicy hint and a hint of brioche. Good length. Discreet buttery in the background.
