Château Valandraud Bordeaux Blanc Virginie de Valandraud Blanc 2019

This has a gorgeous emphasis on juicy and fleshy stone fruit, and handles its high alcohols with aplomb, showing more in the rich texture to the mouthfeel rather than in heat. A gourmet white wine from Jean Luc Thunevin and Murielle Andraud, with an attractive fennel and chamomile bitterness on the finish that adds focus.
