"The 2022 Chinon Blanc “le Domaine” from Domaine Baudry hails from chenin blanc vines that range from ten to twenty years of age, planted on a mix of soils that are either clay and limestone or clay and flint. The grapes are hand-harvested, barrel-fermented with native yeasts in five hundred liter tonneaux and aged one year in the same casks. The 2022 version offers up a superb bouquet of quince, apple, a complex base of soil tones, incipient notes of lanolin, fruit blossoms and a topnote of lemon peel. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied and youthfully complex, with excellent depth at the core, good acids and backend grip, lovely focus and a long, poised and beautifully balanced finish. This will age very well indeed. 2024-2045+."
