A funky and crazy mineral/earth laden wine. Needed air. Bruised apple/pear, quince, wooly lanolin funk, smokey rocks, mushrooms, saffron, some sherry-like notes on the nose and palate. There's a lovey honeyed element to the wine that balances the tea leaf notes Chenin can have. Crunchy with terroir out the ass. A cerebral Chenin every time.

Cheese rind, sherry & preserved lemons on nose - much the same on the palate in a totally delicious way 😍

This is one crazy tangy, mineral wine! It tastes like salted mango and ripe pear drizzled with lemon juice. Incredible texture. I can only imagine what this will be like in 5-10+ years #cheninblanc #loire #anjou

Here is living proof that a great bottle #Chenin blanc is a distinct possibility...young #Patrick #Baudouín creates beautiful mineral specimens from soils composed of what used to the ocean...compressed shells and limestone make for a mineral-driven profile that made my #Thanksgiving dinner a whole lot better! #PatrickBaudouín #Anjou #Loire

Really acidic but balanced with very beautiful zesty, pear, green apple notes. Long finish. Delicious pairing with fish and asparagus

Fresh, lively and zesty. Lemon pear, green apple and honey. A no brainer.
