Valandraud Blanc 2019 (750ML)

94-95 JS / 94 DE

Sliced apples and honey with mangoes and papaya, yet it remains subtle and refined. It’s full-bodied, tight and refined on the palate. Serious all around. - James Suckling

A rich and layered white that sits at the level you would expect from a classified estate. Apricot and stone fruits abound, with creamy caramel edging and a welcome touch of bitter honeysuckle on the finish that is needed to balance what is a rich wine. Impressive, if weighty. 80% new oak. Drinking Window 2022 - 2032 - Jane Anson, Decanter
