Characteristics and tasting tips for Virginie de Valandraud white 2023
Tasting
Supported by a beautiful tension, this 2023 vintage opens with a lively attack of lime and grapefruit zest aromas. Ample, the palate stretches harmoniously to a finish with delicate notes of acacia.
A fresh and precise dry white Bordeaux wine
The property
First Grand Cru Classé of Saint-Émilion, the Château Valandraud shines among the most beautiful properties of the appellation. Demonstrating a remarkable quality-price ratio, the Virginie de Valandraud cuvée is made from a selection of younger vines from the estate.
