Our opinion on the vintage
Baudouin Patrick
In Anjou Noir, Patrick Baudouin conducts demanding work with Chenin Blanc, producing dry or sweet wines depending on the vintage. The vineyard rests mainly on schist soils, which structure the wines with a tight framework and a tension characteristic of the region.
The winemaking process favors indigenous yeasts and long, patient aging, allowing the wine to develop at its own pace. This approach results in wines that are straightforward and precise, sometimes reserved in their youth, but possess a real capacity to evolve over time.
The wines are distinguished by their vibrant fruit, clean length, and clear expression of the Anjou Noir terroir. The estate's work is guided by a rigorous and consistent approach, making Patrick Baudouin a recognized authority on Chenin Blanc in this part of the Loire Valley.
