The Profound Charms & Subtle Power of White Bordeaux

 

WHITE BORDEAUX MARKETPLACE

BORDEAUX, FRANCE

 

There's nothing quite like white Bordeaux, is there? Few wines can rival them for their elegance and purity, and the best are also incomparably complex, offering remarkable depth and dimension, along with a steely minerality and a gorgeously full finish. (And when these wines earn scores in the high 90s – a rarity for white wines, which seldom receive the stratospheric scores that reds do – you know you're in the presence of something truly extraordinary.)

Well, today, for your drinking pleasure, our expert staff of sommeliers and critics (who have long had a profound weakness for the wonderful charms of white Bordeaux) has gathered together some of the very best of the best.

Say hello to our four-week White Bordeaux Marketplace – our curated selection of recent vintages, all showing beautifully, all proving themselves to be exceptionally good values, and all ready to drink right now.
Including:
 

• the 2022 Valandraud Blanc, which Jeb Dunnuck, in a potential 97-point rave, declared "needs to be tasted to be believed," praising its "killer bouquet of honeyed lime, flowers, salty minerality, and exotic citrus fruits" before noting that this "top white in Bordeaux" will evolve for two decades
• the 2022 Virginie de Valandraud Blanc, which James Suckling, in a potential 95-point review, celebrated as "beautiful and classy," with "toned, lengthy acidity" and "pretty structure"
• the 2020 Château Monbousquet Blanc, which Suckling awarded 95 points, singling out its "beautiful, exotic aromas of green mangos and pineapples" and its "gorgeous texture"

Not only are all of these wines ready to drink right now, but because they are also currently in our possession, you won't have to wait 3-4 months.

Act now, folks, to secure these exceptional and eminently versatile wines for your table.
