Jane Anson: 94 Punkte

Excellent quality, delivers length and complexity with an opulent edge that gives estate signature. Baked apple, creamy citrus, fragrant mint leaf, fennel, saffron, white tea and star anise alongside juicy nectarine and peach pit. Athanase Fakorellis wine consultant, Jean-Luc Thunevin owner, 80% new oak for ageing, 20% terracotta jars. (01/2025)

The 2022 Valandraud Blanc is terrific. Dried pear, white flowers, mint and a hint of spice open first. Creamy and resonant on the palate, the Blanc is a gorgeous white for the dinner table. A few years in bottle will allow its textural breadth to emerge more fully. Readers should expect a decidedly rich, heady wine.

A fresh, pure and creamy nose with guava, meringue and lemon curd. A tad saline, this has a flavorful, medium- to full-bodied palate and a solid, lengthy finish. Compressed and lightly phenolic at the end with lots going on. Drink from 2026. (01/2025)

A blend of 53% Sauvignon Gris, 40% Sauvignon Blanc, and 7% Sémillon, the 2022 Château Valandraud Blanc is another sensational white from Thunevin, offering a gorgeous nose of lemon curd, white flowers, chalk, and minty herbs. Medium to full-bodied, with a focused, elegant, and seamless mouthfeel, it has integrated acidity and an undeniable limestone-driven minerality. Aged for 10 months in 80% new oak barrels and 20% clay amphora, this should drink well for 15+ years. Total production: 583 cases. (02/2025)

A blend of 45% Sauvignon Gris, 40% Sauvignon Blanc, and 15% Semillon, with a pH of 3.15, the 2022 white Valandraud comes bounding out with bold notes of white peaches, fresh pineapple, and orange blossoms, giving way to scents of candle wax, cedar, and nutmeg. The full-bodied palate is satin-textured with beautiful freshness and bags of juicy pear and tropical fruit flavors, finishing with great length. (05/2023)
