WINE DESCRIPTION
Domaine Patrick Baudouin Savennières Bellevue is a stunning expression of the Loire Valley’s revered terroir. This organic wine hails from the Savennières appellation, where Domaine Patrick Baudouin crafts wines that truly embody the land’s unique characteristics. Cultivated from low-yield vines at just 39 hl/ha, the Bellevue vineyard brims with vitality, having bounced back with vigor since the 2017 frost. Each grape is carefully handpicked over two selective harvests, allowing only the ripest fruit to go into the cellar. Pressed immediately, the wine undergoes a gentle overnight settling, before natural fermentation begins using indigenous yeast in tanks. Aged in barrels with spontaneous malolactic fermentation, it’s then finely filtered “sur terre.” Savennières Bellevue beautifully balances craftsmanship and terroir, capturing the essence of this celebrated vineyard.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Domaine Patrick Baudouin Savennières Bellevue reveals an elegant, layered profile with vibrant minerality and a subtle, nutty undertone, characteristic of Savennières’ unique terroir.Aromas of white flowers and ripe orchard fruits like quince and pear unfold on the nose, while the palate delivers a harmonious balance of fresh acidity and rich texture, with a long, mineral finish. Ideal with sophisticated dishes, it pairs beautifully with roasted poultry, creamy seafood pasta, or aged cheeses like Comté or Gruyère, enhancing each dish with its refined, complex structure and depth. Perfect for pairing with elegant, layered meals.
