This wine is from Patrick Baudouin and is a Savennières from the 2018 vintage. Savennières is something of an acquired taste but is undeniably a complex wine. It is a dry, umami expression of chenin blanc from the Loire Valley in France. The 2018 vintage of Patrick Baudouin’s wine has aromas of earth, bread and some oxidative character. A waxy aroma emerges with time. The palate is dry and has piercingly high acidity, supplemented by a waxy texture. The alcohol is 14%. Drink this complex wine now and over the next decade, or two.
