Château Valandraud Blanc: A Modern Bordeaux Icon

From the revolutionary 'Garagiste' Jean-Luc Thunevin, the Valandraud Blanc is an extraordinary dry white that transcends its regional Bordeaux Blanc classification. It is crafted with the same obsessive attention to detail as the estate's Premier Grand Cru Classé red, using a blend of Sauvignon Gris, Sauvignon Blanc, and Sémillon. This wine offers a thrilling combination of opulence and laser-like precision, making it a must-have for collectors seeking the pinnacle of oaked Bordeaux white blends.

Tasting Notes & Character

• Colour: Brilliant, pale gold.
• Aroma: Highly complex, immediately revealing notes of concentrated citrus peel, exotic fruits, and a sophisticated overlay of vanilla and toast from new French oak.
• Taste: Full-bodied and rich, yet beautifully defined by a vibrant, integrated acidity that drives the long, mouth-watering finish. Expect a creamy texture, ripe fruit intensity, and a distinctive saline minerality that promises excellent aging potential.

Food Matching & Service

Serve this Grand Vin Blanc slightly chilled (12-14°C) alongside rich, complex dishes.

• Suggestions: Dover Sole Meunière, Roast Chicken with Tarragon Cream, High-Quality Smoked Salmon, Pan-fried Halibut.
• Drinking Window: Superb young, but built to evolve for 10-15 years.
