A Savennières from a grower whose home turf is on the other side of the river: Bellevue is Patrick Baudouin's one cuvée from the Loire's right (north) bank. As Baudouin describes it, the parcel is a young one, planted in 2009 on weathered, talc-rich ochre schist. It sits on a gentle south-facing slope in the commune of Savennières that looks out over the Loire, which is where the name ("beautiful view") comes from. Fun detail: the label was painted by the parcel's owner, an artist. Back at the domaine in Anjou, Baudouin has been certified organic since 2005. In the vineyards he uses only copper and sulfur treatments. In the cellar he ferments with ambient yeasts, never chaptalizes and adds only tiny doses of sulfur. He came to all this the long way round, taking over his great-grandparents' estate in 1990 after twelve years of factory work and a spell selling books in Paris. If you want to see what Savennières Chenin can do in the hands of a grower who doesn't take shortcuts, this is a great place to start.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Baudouin himself pairs it with rich dishes: try pike-perch or sole in beurre blanc, poulet à la crème with morels, or a wild-mushroom risotto or mushroom tart.

Tasting Profile

Expect the classic Savennières profile: quince, yellow apple and lemon peel, with hints of chamomile and beeswax. Typically dry and medium- to full-bodied, with a waxy texture held in check by firm, bright acidity and a stony minerality from the schist, finishing long and savoury. Think of a firmer, more mineral take on dry Vouvray.
