Château Virginie de Valandraud Blanc 2024
Vintage Character
Château Virginie de Valandraud Blanc 2024 is a dry Bordeaux white from the Saint-Émilion sector, produced by the Premier Grand Cru Classé estate Château Valandraud. The 2024 vintage in Bordeaux whites is promising, with a cooler growing season helping preserve aromatic precision and lively acidity, a combination that often gives the wines freshness and definition. Drawn from white varieties planted on the limestone-clay landscapes associated with Saint-Émilion’s right bank environment, this cuvée stands out for marrying Sauvignon Blanc’s brightness with the rounder, textural elements of Sémillon and Sauvignon Gris.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
The wine opens with pink grapefruit, lemon zest, white peach and green apple, followed by floral hints and a discreet touch of brioche. On the palate, it is dry, medium- to full-bodied, and energetic, with citrus and stone-fruit flavors carried by a creamy mid-palate, subtle oak spice and a clean, mineral-tinged finish. The balance of freshness and texture makes it a versatile table wine: try it with Dover sole meunière, roast chicken with tarragon, or grilled scallops with beurre blanc.
Winery Background
Château Valandraud was created by Jean-Luc Thunevin and Murielle Andraud and became one of Bordeaux’s most influential modern estates, widely associated with the rise of the garage wine movement before earning Saint-Émilion Premier Grand Cru Classé status in the 2012 classification. The estate is known for meticulous vineyard work and low yields, with fruit typically harvested parcel by parcel to protect ripeness and precision. For the white wines, fermentation and élevage in French oak barrels with lees contact help build texture and complexity, while the house style remains focused on concentration, polish and exacting detail.
