BAUDRY DUTOUR CHINON CHENIN BLANC

Description

The Baudry family has owned the Domaine de la Perrière in Cravant-les-Coteaux (the principal village of the Chinon appellation) since 1398. Christophe Baudry is the current owner and the 6th generation of the domaine. In 1990 Christophe’s father, Jean Baudry–brother of highly reputed producer Bernard Baudry–handed him the reins of the domaine. Meanwhile, in 1993 Jean-Martin Dutour took over the winemaking duties at a neighboring Chinon domaine called Domaine de la Roncée. After developing a friendship over a decade, in 2003 these two highly respected vignerons decided to join forces at both domaines, subsequently buying two other châteaux in Chinon and releasing the wines from these 4 properties under the overarching Baudry-Dutour name.

The 3 Coteaux Chinon Blanc is a blend of chenin blanc from three different parcels located within Chinon. 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
