Blanc de Valandraud

Just for Murielle’s pleasure, below, the comments and notes published in Neal Martin’s Wine Journal :

BLANC DE VALANDRAUD N°1 2006

Wine Journal (April 2007) Neal Martin 93-95
Another very Burgundian nose, here reminding me of a fine Meursault from Dominique Lafon. Lime, citrus fruits,a touch of almond and white flowers. The palate is very polished, harmonious with well integrated creamy new oak. Fine acidity. Touch of oyster shell and green apples on the finish. A lovely wine: shame it produced in such small amounts ! Tasted April 2007.

BLANC DE VALANDRAUD N°2 2006

Wine Journal (April 2007) Neal Martin 90-92
A crisp, Sauvignon Blanc-scented nose with cut limes, citrus and passion fruit. The palate has very fine delineation, quite Burgundian with a touch of coconut towards the long finish. Impressive.
Tasted April 2007
