Virginie de Valandraud blanc, 2019
"The 2019 Virginie de Valandraud Blanc rolls effortlessly out of the glass with notes of white peaches, fresh grapefruit and lime leaves plus hints of yuzu, chalk dust and lemon drops. The medium-bodied palate is crisp, clean and purely fruited with bags of fresh lemons and stone fruit flavors with a zesty finish." - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Advocate
