Hachette
"This 2014 immediately seduced the jury with its brilliant pale yellow color crossed by green reflections. It opens with intense notes of white flowers and citrus fruit. The palate is no exception: fresh from the start, it reveals a tangy character with fine lemony notes and great length. A highly aromatic, energetic wine that will age well and go well with seafood".

About the wine:
This 2014 seduced the jury from the outset with its brilliant pale yellow color with green highlights. It opens with intense notes of white flowers and citrus fruit. The palate is no exception: fresh from the start, it reveals a tangy character with fine lemony notes and great length. A highly aromatic, energetic wine that will age well and go well with seafood.
About the domain :
Christophe Baudry, representing the sixth generation of winegrowers, and Jean-Martin Dutour, an agricultural engineer and oenologist, manage a trading house and four estates in Chinon: Ch. de Saint Louans, Ch. de la Grille, Dom. du Roncée and Dom. de la Perrière.

A full-bodied, tasty Chenin with white fruit aromas. Harmonious, elegant palate. Long, fleshy finish.

An excellent Chenin that has nothing to envy its best Vouvray neighbors. Excellent Q/P ratio
