Bernard Baudry Chinon Blanc 2014
Chinon, Touraine, Loire, FranceChenin Blanc from Chinon, this is from ten year old organic vines on clay and limestone soils, fermented wild and aged in neutral barrel. Earthy lees, apple skin, fennel, wild herbs and meadow flowers are scented with subtle honeysuckle and anchored by a weighted clay base. Chisled, chalky acidity focuses the streamlined palate to a lingering, stony finish. Purity plus depth, this savoury and characterful chenin is memorable and worth seeking out.Tasted: 23 August 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $30.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
