This is Thomas Batardiere's calling card. Three parcels in Rablay-sur-Layon, vines ranging from 20 to 90 years old, rooted in red sand, quartz gravel, and schist. Demeter-certified biodynamics, spontaneous fermentation, extended lees aging through summer. At 10.3%, it's precise and unhurried — Chenin that moves with quiet intention. Just 22g total sulfur. Pour it alongside something briny, or simply let it breathe at the table.
