Domaine Terre de l’Élu‌ ‌‘Bastingage’‌ Blanc‌

The palate is broad, textural, and deeply mineral, opening with expressive notes of ripe orchard fruit, citrus oil, and gentle buttery warmth, supported by Chenin Blanc’s naturally vibrant acidity.

A layered mid-palate of quince, candied lemon, and crushed shale delivers both power and precision, while extended ageing in seasoned barriques contributes a silky, patinated texture without overt oak influence.

The structure is full-bodied, saline, and architecturally defined, with a fine phenolic line that adds tension and drive across the palate. The finish is long, resonant, and gastronomic, tapering into citrus peel, warm stone, and a lingering mineral echo.

This is a complex, age-worthy Chenin Blanc, combining richness, freshness, and mineral depth with exceptional balance and length.
