A rare white from the red wine heartland of Chinon, this Chenin Blanc comes from La Croix Boissée, a chalky clay slope that Bernard Baudry identified as ideal for white grapes. While Chinon is famed for Cabernet Franc, Baudry has been a quiet champion of the appellation's white wine potential since the 1990s. The 2018 offers the tension and minerality that great Loire Chenin delivers—bright acidity balanced by the richness that comes from older vines and careful élevage. Now with several years of bottle age, the wine shows honeyed notes while retaining its nervous energy. Drink now through 2030.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 91

"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." -Jason Wilson
