Virginie de Valandraud 2023 En Primeur

This is very attractive, clean and crisp, with firmness and tension on the palate. Medium-bodied with crunchy minerality and beautiful acidity. Classy and well made. 55% sauvignon blanc and 45% semillon. Drink or hold.

Enjoyable ripe fruit mulberry aromas and flavours introduce a palate marked by crunchy red fruit and torrefaction, although a bit drying on the finish, making me wonder about the 100% new oak quotient. Harvested from 13 September to 4 October.
