Baudry-Dutour Chinon, “Le Pin”

Baudry-Dutour cuts no corners to make this delicious, accessible Chinon. The fruit comes from their flagship estate, Domaine du Roncée in Panzoult on the eastern edge of Chinon, with classic clay-limestone soils of the old Vienne terraces. Everything is done to protect the fruitiness of the grapes without depriving of their richness. Grapes are sorted out on the vines, gravity-fed into tank to keep their integrity, and vinified in separate plots. The wine presents a seductive nose of fresh black berries and spices with a silky and « gouleyant » texture.
