Patrick Baudouin Savennières Bellevue 2021

Heavy oak and pastry notes weigh down what should be mineral-driven elegance. The palate shows concentration but feels chunky and unresolved, with noticeable alcohol heat disrupting the flow. Hard tannins add to the disjointed impression. May come together with time, but this feels forced rather than graceful.
