Domaine Bernard Baudry
La Croix Boissée Chinon Blanc Chenin Blanc
Chinon, Touraine, Loire Valley, France
Firm and serious minerals with juicy, juicy fruit. Kiwi, green citrus, apple and taffy. This has tremendous concentration; it’s powerful and lithe. Grippy and tactile green fruits coat the mouth and linger. Just right acidity, very balanced. Stunning bottle.

Good wine, but not as much cut, energy, as anticipated.

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 🌞

Reminded me of Savennières. Really interesting. The CF is the better QPR though.

Dec 25th, 2017Opening this is a serious case of infanticide. Hold on for a minimum of two years before popping the cork. Steely notes of chamomile, bruised pear, linen, and chalk. This has Savenniéres overtones and will be relatively long-lived and certainly become more expansive with cellar time.
