The 2022 Valandraud Blanc was picked 1-13 September and matured in 80% new oak. It has a vivacious nose with gooseberry, citrus fruit, Vervane and light crushed rock scents. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, taut and fresh with a smooth, waxy-textured finish. Lovely build to this white Valandraud with a touch of wild peach popping up on the aftertaste. Very fine.
