Domaine Terre de l’Élu‌ ‌‘Bastingage’‌ Blanc‌

The palate is broad, textural, and deeply mineral, opening with ripe orchard fruit, citrus oil, and a gentle buttery warmth carried by Chenin’s natural acidity. A mid‑palate of quince, candied lemon, and crushed shale gives the wine both power and precision, while the long élevage in seasoned barriques adds a silky, patinated texture without overt oakiness. The structure is full, saline, and quietly architectural, with a fine phenolic line that tightens the wine as it moves across the palate. The finish is long, resonant, and gastronomic, tapering with citrus peel, warm stone, and a lingering mineral echo.
