“Dominated by Sémillon that's picked late, just before botrytis really takes off in the vineyards, Guffens's 2020 Le C du Sec du Château Closiot is very promising, exhibiting inviting aromas of stone fruit, orange oil, beeswax, ripe melon, vanilla pod and nutmeg. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with racy acids, chalky structuring extract and a long, penetrating finish, it's one of the most interesting dry wines being produced in Bordeaux today.” William Kelley, Wine Advocate 94 Points

The 2020 vintage offers a complex nose of blackcurrants, boxwood, and subtle hints of tarragon, followed by lemon and exotic fruits all underpinned by minerality. The palate is tangy and fresh with a lovely richness echoing the fruit flavors found on the nose. Very elegant with a long, complex finish.

The 2019 vintage of Virginie de Valandraud Bordeaux Blanc from Chateau Valandraud in Bordeaux, France, is a true embodiment of elegance and finesse. This pale straw-colored wine immediately entices with its inviting aromas of white flowers, ripe citrus, and subtle notes of vanilla. On the palate, it reveals a perfect balance of bright acidity and creamy texture, with flavors of lemon, pear, and hints of toasted almonds. The finish is clean and refreshing, leaving a lingering impression of minerality. Crafted with a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon grapes, this wine showcases the terroir of Bordeaux, with a touch of modernity. Ideal as an aperitif or paired with seafood dishes, this Bordeaux Blanc is a must-try for any wine lover.
