Domaine Bernard Baudry - Le Domaine Blanc 2021
Domaine Bernard Baudry is located in Cravant-les-Côteaux, in the Chinon appellation in the Loire Valley . Coming from a family of winegrowers from the village, Bernard Baudry started out as a wine consultant in the Tours laboratory after studying oenology in Beaune. This formative experience lasted five years before he decided to set up on his own in 1975 at the head of a small 2-hectare estate. Matthieu, his son, studied in Mâconnais then in Bordeaux. After a year of internship in Tasmania and then in California, he decided to join the family estate in 2000. The estate now has 32 hectares of vines whose variety of soils (gravel, sand, limestone, silica and clay) make it possible to produce parcel vinification. The vineyard has always been maintained using methods that respect the environment and is now conducted in certified organic farming since 2006.
The Domaine is made from Chenin Blanc grown on various plots of clay-limestone hillsides. The vines are 5 to 15 years old. After the manual harvest, the fermentation lasts several months in barrels of 500 liters until obtaining a dry white.
Grape variety: 100% Chenin Blanc
