Another gorgeous white from this team, the 2019 Château Valandraud Blanc sports a light gold hue as well as brilliant aromatics of fresh melon, subtle pineapple, white flowers, and beautiful, clean minerality. This carries to a more medium to full-bodied white that builds gradually with time in the glass, offering bright acidity, a terrific, concentrated mid-palate, remarkable purity of fruit, and a great finish. It's a stunning Bordeaux Blanc that's up with the crème de la crème of the vintage.

Here you find the prefect mix of rich, creamy-textured, yellow citrus with hints of orange tropical fruits, bright green apple and flowers. Even with all this concentration, there is also a light touch of honeyed sweetness and a blast of racy acidity to keep everything on its toes.

The 2019 Valandraud Blanc has come together beautifully since I last tasted it and now shows all of its personality. There's wonderful exoticism running through the 2019. Pineapple, ginger, green apple, mint and sweet floral accents all meld together. As always, the Blanc is marked by a gorgeous sense of textural intensity. -- Antonio Galloni

Toasted style, with brioche, macadamia nut and wet straw notes leading the way, but backed by lemon curd, honeysuckle and quinine notes that add subtle rippling tension through the finish. Sauvignon Gris, Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon. Drink now through 2023. 500 cases made. — JM

Lots of papaya and mango with other tropical fruit on the nose, together with hints of cream. Full-bodied with a soft, round texture that is really attractive. Lots of sherbet character now. Delicious finish. A big, juicy white, yet tangy and fresh at the end. Drink now.
