In the glass
It is a clear golden colour. The defining trait is intense quince with high acidity, alongside bitter, salty herbs.
Producer
Domaine Patrick Baudouin was founded in 1920. The domaine farms organically.
Site
Les Gâts comes from a single parcel planted in 1947 on schist, on a gentle northeast-facing slope on the left bank of the Layon river. It is a Chenin Blanc from Anjou, in the Loire.
Vinification
The grapes are pressed directly and the juice is settled overnight (débourbage). It then ferments slowly with indigenous yeasts in Bourgogne oak barrels that have been used for 3 to 4 years. After malolactic fermentation the wine is aged on its fine lees, then filtered through diatomaceous earth and bottled.
