François Chidaine, 'Baudoin' 2022 Textural clean fun that won't scare

clean fun that won't scare anyone but also has more than enough going on

A lot of Vinho Verde is extremely average

Fruit here comes off some particularly stony

Good amount of body here

Pretty bloody good

François Chidaine, 'Baudoin' 2022 Textural clean fun that won't scarePlace: Loire, France Grape: Chenin Blanc Vibe: Classic, crisp Clos Baudoin is legendary Vouvray terroir. This does need time, or at the very least a long decant if you plan on busting through it in its infancy. Anyway. This is remarkable as always. Intense, refined, explosive, moreish, effortless. As good as dry Chenin Blanc can get. You're welcome. ABV: 13%
