Bernard Baudry, Chinon Rouge "La Croix Boissée" Loire, France, 2019

Overview of the Wine
Bernard Baudry is unquestionably one of Chinon’s most outstanding producers. Not only does he have the talent to make delicious and consistent wines, vintage to vintage, but he is also fortunate to have vineyard land that showcases the varied soil types of the appellation. After completing his viticultural studies in Beaune, Bernard returned to the Loire Valley and purchased his first two hectares of land in Cravant-les-Coteaux, a village from which almost half of the production of A.O.C. Chinon is sourced. Over the years, the domaine has grown to 25 hectares and Bernard’s son, Matthieu, has joined the family domaine. The Baudrys are staunch traditionalists, and you would have a hard time finding a Chinon more classic than theirs.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes
A complex, powerful wine with firm tannins, unctuous, with aromas of very ripe fruit. A wine that will benefit from being laid down for several years to reveal its full potential.
