Bernard Baudry Chinon Blanc 2019

Bernard Baudry Le Domaine Chinon 2019
$45.00Organic. 100% Cabernet Franc. Le Domaine hails from Baudry’s high-sited vines on the plateau above Chinon’s première côte.

$60.00The very definition of Cabernet Franc, perhaps with a little blurring of the edges. Cassis and bramble fruit, with a touch of cocoa and kirsch, violet and lavender wood. Focused, sleek and linear, the domain’s trademark. Architectural and sculptured, with a lovely mid-palate stuffing and driving intensity. Not a hair out of place. Claret-esque. Waters […]

It comes mostly from the Estate’s younger vines (planted between 1985 and 1988) grown on the alluvial gravel soils of the terraces by the river Vienne. This is a terroir that loves long periods of dry and […]
