Bernard Baudry Le Domaine 2022

WineSaint
Clean red fruit and mineral tension show the quality of Bernard Baudry's sites. Yet earthy, barnyard notes intrude, muddying what should be crystalline Chinon expression. The palate starts promisingly but turns austere and drying with air. Good bones undermined by rustic flaws.
