Full-bodied and rich, it has a deep, velvety texture, terrific overall balance, and serious depth. Vinified and aged 20 months in new barrels, it will evolve nicely for 15+ years with ease.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93 Jane Anson Review Date: 03\/25\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eBrilliant quality Virginie, has so much grain and depth, this is one to recommend. Black cherry, saffron, white pepper, sage, mint leaf, espresso, opulent but with fresh juice running right through it. Harvest 12 to 29 September.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92 Vinous Review Date: 01\/25\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 2022 Virginie de Valandraud presents an intense bouquet of blackberry, briar and a hint of rosemary that emerges with time. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins and graphite-infused black fruit, offering tension and energy on the finish. It deserves 3-4 years in the bottle to reach its full potential. Gains delineation with aeration. -NM\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94 Decanter Review Date: 01\/2025\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRipe and concentrated but perfectly mature grapes with plenty of tangy acidity. I like this, its joyous and lifted with gorgeous crushed stone aspects to the tannins that leave a chalkiness on the finish. Strong but sleek with plum, baked blackcurrant and strawberry. Very delicious. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CWH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47614963482856,"sku":null,"price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0553\/4901\/8807\/files\/20250821_132130.jpg?v=1755803859","url":"https:\/\/shop.claytonwinehouse.com\/products\/22-chateau-virginie-de-valandraud-95jd-94-v-94ja","provider":"Clayton Winehouse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
