A surprising Chenin Blanc from Chinon’s tuffeau soils, the result of long, long fermentation (12 months) in 500-liter barrel. On the nose, wet earth, citrus blossom and honeysuckle, then full-bodied with lots of peach, clementine and even mango flavors, a salty core, and a dry, stony finish.

Gulped this down way too fast and too young. But we need some summer joy today

Pours clear gold. Tropical fruit, almonds on the nose. Fuller bodied, resinous. Medium plus acidity. Palate has more citrus, white peach and toasted nuts. Hint of vanilla. On the finish, more toasted nuts and mineral spice. Delicious and probably even better with age.

first time trying Baudry’s Chinon Blanc. had high hopes but this bottle was disappointing and a bit dull. not sure if it’s corked or maybe off balance but i think i caught an off bottle.
