🏰The 2024 Thomas Batardiere Grand Clos is a 【new Chenin Blanc from young vines planted in Rablay on eroded schist soils】, offering a chiseled, mineral profile balanced with stone fruit and medium weight. This certified biodynamic white wine is spontaneously fermented in inox with elevage in used foudre, unfined and unfiltered, promising a pure and expressive taste of Loire Chenin Blanc. Expect a white wine with a tropical and balanced style, showcasing the grape's inherent high acidity and versatility.
🍴 This versatile Chenin Blanc pairs wonderfully with a range of dishes, including chicken and turkey, rich fish like salmon or tuna, vegetarian options, and mild to stinky cheeses. It also complements roast white meats, braised dishes, white sauces, and fried food.
🥂 An excellent choice for a casual gathering, a summer picnic, or as a food-friendly wine for various culinary explorations. Given its young vintage, it will be arriving in late April 2026, offering freshness and potential for graceful aging.
