Thomas Batardiere - Oscar 2017
Domaine Thomas Batardière is located in Bellevigne-en-Layon, in the Loire Valley. Before becoming a winemaker, Thomas Battardière studied anthropology and cinema, and briefly worked as a filmmaker. In 2008, he gets a sommelier degree and starts an internship at Château Yvonne which will lead onto a full-time work for three years as well as continuing his studies of viticulture in Beaune. In 2011, he starts his own domaine after purchasing two hectares of Chenin in the town of Rablay sur Layon in Anjou. His first step was to immediately convert his vineyards to biodynamic farming, and in 2015 his vineyards were fully certified.
Oscar is made from botrytised Chenin Blanc. It is only made in good vintages.
Grape variety: 100% Chenin Blanc
