Domaine Bernard Baudry Chinon 2022 dry white wine

RVF Guide to the Best Wines of France 2024 (Sept. 2023). 92/100. Never overdone, the 2022 white shines with a delightful brightness. A fine, saline definition of Chenin from Chinon.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (Y. Castaing, June 2024). 92/100. Crafted from vines planted on clay and limestone soils, the 2022 Chinon Blanc reveals aromas of lemon, white flowers, pear and herbs, followed by a medium-bodied, seamless and round palate with a moderately concentrated core of fruit and a delicate tension in the mid-palate complemented by an ethereal, saline finish. It matured 25% in egg-shaped concrete containers and 75% in barrels. DRINK DATE 2024-2034.

Technical sheet written by the Domaine:

The great diversity of terroirs in our vineyard encourages us to apply the principles of parcel vinification, meaning we harvest and vinify the grapes from each plot separately.

The vinification of the single varietal (Chenin for the white wines) highlights the variations of terroirs with complete transparency.


Variety: Chenin Blanc.

Soils: Siliceous limestone on a very eroded slope facing south.

Vines: Planted in 1994 and 2004.

Vinification / Aging: Manual harvest. Slow fermentation in 500-liter barrels until a dry white is achieved (less than 2g/l of residual sugars).
