'Le Domaine' is a selection of young Chenin Blanc vines.
Bernard Baudry founded his eponymous estate in the early 1980's with a couple inherited
hectares. After graduating from the Lycée de Beaune he quickly rose to prominence in the appellation for precise, textured Chinon. Today, Bernard is technically retired (vignerons never really retire) and his son Matthieu, who has been making wine with his father since 2000, has taken over as head vigneron.
