WINE DESCRIPTION

Bernard Baudry La Croix Boissée Chinon Blanc is a premium white wine produced by the renowned winemaker Bernard Baudry in the Chinon appellation of the Loire Valley. The wine is made from Chenin Blanc grapes grown in the La Croix Boissée vineyard, which is known for its limestone and clay soils that impart a unique minerality to the wine. The winemaking process involves a combination of traditional and modern techniques, including hand-harvesting, gentle pressing, and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is a complex and elegant expression of Chenin Blanc, with notes of citrus, honey, and white flowers, and a long, refreshing finish. It is a perfect match for seafood, poultry, and creamy cheeses.
