Saint-Émilion
Château Valandraud Virginie 1998
Second wine of Valandraud, elegant and silky, blending controlled power and evolved fruitiness. The 1998 vintage reveals a harmonious balance between maturity, aromatic depth, and tannic finesse.
The domain
Valandraud, renowned for its precise and structured wines, crafts its second wines with the same care as its grand crus. The meticulous vinification and reasoned ageing result in balanced, elegant wines that express the terroir.
The wine
The nose offers blackberry, black cherry, cocoa, and light woody notes. The palate is round and silky, supported by melted tannins and gentle acidity. The finish, long and elegant, blends candied black fruits, spices, and subtle minerality, showcasing a wine that is already mature but still vibrant.
