Anjou Les Glanées Patrick Baudouin 2004

The wine

The white Anjou Les Glanées is the signature cuvée of Patrick Baudouin, a Loire producer dedicated to organic growing and low-intervention vinifications. These Chenin grapes were collected in the final picking session of the harvest. The vines were planted around fifty years ago on a parcel rich in schist.
In the winery, the aim is to let the terroir speak for itself by intervening as little as possible in the vinification process.
This is a wine to enjoy in its youth. It has a pale, yellow colour that leans towards a golden hue in time. Its aromatic bouquet is marked by notes of white fruit like apple and pear, as well as white flowers and a lovely minerality.
This cuvée can be enjoyed with delicate dishes like a broccoli flan, cucumber salad, or salmon with avocado.

About the Producer Patrick Baudouin

Founded in 1920 by Louis and Maria Juby, the great-grandparents of the current owners, Domaine Patrick Baudouin is an Angers estate of 13 hectares. The land here is made up of volcanic layers, schist and sandstone, in which the vines are grown organically. Biodiversity is encouraged, with trees grown on the same land. This domain considers its wine a ‘cultural creation’, with different appellations taking their turn in the spotlight: Savennières, Quarts-de-Chaume, Anjou (dry, demi-sec, and red), and Coteaux-du-Layon, with most of the cuvées coming from their own specific parcel. A pioneer in the production of dry Anjou, this estate is a strong advocate for the region’s terroirs. In its white, red, and dessert forms, this wine represents some of the finest that Anjou has to offer.
