Lemon and lime, crushed stone, mint, and thyme notes emerge from the 2024 Virginie De Valandraud Blanc, a blend of 60% Sauvignon Blanc and 40% Semillon. Fresh and focused on the palate, it shows beautifully integrated acidity, medium-bodied depth and richness, and impressive length.
Features notes of fresh limes, green mango, and lemon verbena with touches of chalk dust and honeysuckle. Light-bodied and crisp, the palate is tightly wound with citrus and mineral layers, finishing chalky.
About the producer

One of the first garage wines, Ch. Valandraud was created by Jean-Luc Thunevin – Saint-Emilion’s “bad boy”. Today the style of the wine is much more restrained, and officially classified as a Premier Grand Cru Classé B estate.
