The 2020 Virginie de Valandraud Blanc deftly balances textural richness with energy. Lemon confit, mint, white flowers, anise and chalk grace this elegant, airy white, all the elements coming together nicely. The 2020 is a flat-out delicious, stylish wine to enjoy on the young side.

The 2020 Virginie de Valandraud Blanc leaps from the glass with exuberant notes of green guava, passion fruit and ripe pears, plus hints of coriander seed, lemongrass and wet pebbles. The medium-bodied palate has impressive purity and intensity, delivering a racy backbone to offset the tropical fruit flavors, finishing long and lively.

This shows very pretty density and intensity with sliced apples, lemon rind and minerals. Crushed stone and some dried peaches, too. It’s full-bodied and layered. Zippy.
