The 2016 Virginie de Valandraud Blanc is a blend of 55% Sémillon and 45% Sauvignon Blanc. It has a slightly austere bouquet at first that demands coaxing, perhaps not delivering the tropical tones or exuberance of the 2015 last year. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, nicely focused with a brisk, gooseberry and fresh pear-tinged finish. Drink over the next three to six years.
