Château Valandraud, 1er grand cru classé B 2019
RRP €127
Vetiver oak, white pepper and strawberry deliver a pleasing spiciness almost Pinot-like in character. Palate is very lifted with star bright acidity that almost leaps above the fruit and satiny tannins. Finishes with a charming dash of green pepper.
