Descrizione

The Anjou Blanc "Le Cornillard" by Patrick Baudouin is a refined and intense expression of Chenin Blanc, a grape variety that finds its ideal habitat in the Loire Valley. Produced using organic methods, the wine demonstrates the winery's commitment to sustainability and quality. On the nose, it presents a complex bouquet where notes of quince, honey, and a slight touch of exotic spices stand out. The fermentation and maturation in old oak barrels add a subtle veil of vanilla and nutmeg.

On the palate, "Le Cornillard" surprises with its balanced acidic freshness, harmoniously blending with a medium-bodied palate. The minerality is evident and carries a long persistence that invites another sip. This wine is ideal for pairing with rich fish dishes, such as buttered salmon or gratinated scallops, but it also pairs well with vegetarian dishes based on mushrooms or blue cheeses. With significant aging potential, "Le Cornillard" promises to evolve beautifully for many years to come.
