This wine is made of 100% Cabernet Franc. The fruit comes from young vines on several plots of flinty gravely soil. Grapes are manually harvested, then direct pressed. Fermentation occurs in unlined cement vats until the wine is dry, which equates to equal or less than 2 grams of residual sugar. As a nice complement to its dryness, the wine explodes with mouthwatering fresh strawberry and red ruby grapefruit. Enjoy it with a flavorful roast chicken and succotash with summer squash and sweet white corn, making sure to add some rosé to your sautée.

    Details

    Bernard Baudry founded his eponymous estate in the early 1980's with a couple inherited hectares. After graduating from the Lycée de Beaune, he quickly rose to prominence in the appellation for precise, textured Chinon.

    Today, Bernard is technically retired (vignerons never really retire) and his son Matthieu, who has been making wine with his father since 2000, has taken over as head vigneron.

    Over the years, the father and son team's fascination with Chinon's diverse terroirs have led them to expand the estate to its current 32 hectares. The first release and most youthful wine is "Les Granges". This is from young vines (25 years old) planted on alluvial soil and gravel near the
    Vienne riverbed. When it floods in some springs, Baudry may be found pruning the vines from a boat. This is a wine that is supple and fruity with smoky cherry fruit and is meant to drink young. It is a perfect wine for simple foods and cheeses.

    The "Cuvée Domaine" is a blend of parcels of older vines (30-35 years old) planted in alluvial gravel bed and hillside
    clay. It has more structure and can use a short aging period in bottle before drinking. The wine has deep, dark ruby color and is beautifully extracted.

    "Les Grézeaux" is from vines of 40 years on average, planted on gravely soil with a bedrock of limestone and
    clay. For many years it was aged in barrique but today it is only fermented and aged in large concrete vats.

    "Clos Guillot" is a four hectare plot of vines Bernard replanted in 1995 on a site abandoned since World War 2. It ferments in concrete and is aged in barrel.

    Finally, "Croix Boisée" comes from the Baudry's "Grand Cru" vineyards, two hectares exposed full south on clay and limestone. Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc is planted here and two separate wines are producee under the "Croix Boisée" label. These are are a much more structured affair, hence their fermentation and aging in barrel.

    A small amount of Chinon Blanc and rosé is also produced; both have a cult following and sell out instantly.
