2023 Domaine Bernard Baudry Chinon Blanc "Le Domaine", Loire Valley, France
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Young Chenin Blanc vines aged between 5 and 20 years are manually harvested to create this complex white wine. Vines are grown on a mix of clay-limestone hillsides and flint-clay plateaus. Grapes are fully destemmed and gravity fed into vats, before a slow fermentation for several months in 500-litre barrels and ovoid concrete vats. Fermentation is carried out completely to dryness, yielding a wine with less than 2g/L of residual sugar. Certified organic farming, managed without harsh synthetic chemicals. Bottled without fining or harsh filtration to preserve the wine's natural texture and aromatics.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER:
The Chinon Blanc ‘Le Domaine’ Sec from Domaine Bernard Baudry comes from the Loire Valley, within the Chinon AOC appellation, where Chenin Blanc finds an expression of rare precision. In a region known for its great reds, this white wine represents an identity-defining and unconventional choice. The vines are rooted in clay-limestone and tuff soils, which give the wine tension and mineral depth. Careful vinification, focused on varietal purity, preserves freshness and aromatic clarity. In the glass, it opens with notes of crisp apple, citrus and light floral nuances. On the palate, it is vertical and dynamic, supported by vibrant acidity and a savoury texture that lengthens its persistence. It is a white wine that focuses not on opulence but on balance, structure and evolutionary capacity. A Chinon Blanc with character, designed for those seeking authenticity, finesse and a modern interpretation of Chenin from the Loire.
Domaine Bernard Baudry is one of the most authoritative estates in the Loire, based in Cravant-les-Côteaux, in the heart of the Chinon AOC appellation. Founded in the 1970s, the winery has built its reputation on a clear vision: to interpret the terroir with rigour, precision and absolute respect for the vineyard. The work starts with the soil, with careful and sustainable management of the vineyards to enhance the uniqueness of each parcel. The production philosophy favours measured interventions and essential vinification, capable of producing authentic and long-lived wines. Cabernet Franc and Chenin Blanc find pure, vertical and deeply territorial expression here. Each label is the result of a balance between tradition and a contemporary approach, with a style recognisable for its finesse and depth. Domaine Bernard Baudry is now a benchmark for those seeking high-profile Loire wines that combine identity, elegance and a modern vision.
