Established in 1989, Jean-Luc Thunevin and Murielle Andraud have achieved an incredible amount in a short space of time with Château Valandraud, achieving St-Émilion Premier Grand Cru Classé (B) status and earning a reputation as one of the benchmark producers of the region. Virginie represents the estate’s second label and the white is generally a blend of Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc. Medium-bodied and satin textured, it is vibrant, zesty and fresh, with wonderful notes of yuzu citrus, white orchard fruits and lemongrass. This would be the ideal accompaniment to fresh seafood, particularly oysters.

Vinous
The 2017 Virginie de Valandraud Blanc has gained a good bit of body and texture during its aging - qualities that play off the bright fruit nicely. Lemon confit, almonds, dried flowers and chamomile run through this super-expressive, large-scaled wine. The 50% Sémillon really comes through in the wine's breadth. The 2017 has the depth and intensity to pair with just about anything at the dinner table. This is one of the better white of the vintage. Antonio Galloni1st March 2020
