Chidaine, François 2024 Vin de France Les Argiles

The Chidaine Vin de France "Les Argiles" (actually Vouvray) "is a blend of various plots surrounding the Clos Baudoin, including L’Espagnole, Le Haut Lieu, La Chatterie, L’Homme and La Reugnières. The clay here is deeper than in the Clos, giving a broad, rich girth to the wine." (Polaner Selections). Tasted in February with the Chidaines, I would not say there is "a broad, rich girth to the wine" as the the aromas are a bit closed but the palate explodes with minerality with elegant white fruits and terrific length. A great vintage for this wine!
