Virginie de Valandraud is the second wine of the highly acclaimed Château Valandraud and was first produced in 1992. Though grown and vinified in exactly the same way as the grand vin, it is made from younger vine fruit and, due to its slightly different blend, has developed its own identity. From the superb 2019 vintage, this is a delicious blend of dark fruits, sweet spice and cedar following through to a medium to full bodied palate and a savoury finish. Sold in approachable half bottle format.

Bordeaux, France
The 2019 Virginie de Valandraud has an intense nose with blackberry, graphite and orange peel scents that unfold with each swirl. The oak is nicely integrated here. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, a little chewy in style, broad-shouldered and dense, one of the more backward Saint-Émilion wines in this flight. Yet it retains balance and delineation; I would tuck it away for several years. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting.
