Baudouin Patrick
In Anjou Noir, Patrick Baudouin undertakes meticulous work with Chenin, crafting dry or sweet wines depending on vintage conditions. The vineyard primarily rests on schist soils, which impart a tight structure and characteristic tension to the wines of this region.
Vinification prioritizes indigenous yeasts and extended aging, conducted patiently to allow the wine to develop without haste. This approach yields precise and direct cuvées, sometimes reserved in their youth, but possessing significant aging potential.
The wines are distinguished by bright fruit, a clean finish, and a clear expression of the Anjou Noir terroirs. The estate's entire operation follows a rigorous and coherent approach, establishing Patrick Baudouin as a recognized benchmark for Chenin in this part of the Loire Valley.
