Decanter: Candied lemons, some baked apples, hints of peach and some fragrant floral touches. Streamlined and focused, this has a lovely fresh and energetic core with crisp apple and lemon but balanced by a slightly textured mouthfeel. Mouthwatering, Fresh, precise but not at all tart. A softly baked element and slightly creamy vanilla touch on the finish adds softness and roundness. Elegant. 3.25pH. 70% ageing in new oak, 500 and 400l barrels."

Jeb Dunnuck: Ripe melon, mint, white flowers, honeyed minerality, and a kiss of spice all define the 2025 Virginie De Valandraud Blanc, a blend that includes a touch more Sémillon than usual. (2025 was a great year for the variety.) It's medium-bodied on the palate, with a rich, layered mouthfeel, beautifully integrated acidity, and a great finish."

James Suckling: A precise, chalky blend of 60% semillon and 40% sauvignon blanc. Layered, with acidity reinforcing its chalky edge. It’s incisive, with a saline twist in the finish."

The Wine Cellar Insider: Flowers, honey, banana peel, white peach, pears, and green apple notes fill the perfume. The palate is bright, fresh, crisp, juicy, and fruity, ending with a blast of sweet, vibrant citrus, and sweet, white peaches. The wine blends 60% Sauvignon Blanc, with 40% Semillon. Drink from 2027-2034."
