Bernard Baudry Chinon Blanc 2019
$55.00100% Chenin Blanc. Baudry’s rare Chinon Blanc hails from two small parcels: 0.8 hectares of vines behind the Château de Sonnay (these propagated with cuttings from the vineyards of Domaine Huet); and the eroded limestone of Le Clos Guillot. Vine age is in the 12 to 15 year ballpark. Matthieu Baudry naturally ferments the wine slowly […]

Bernard Baudry Chinon Le Clos Guillot 2019
$80.00If ever you were in any doubt about the capability of Cabernet Franc to stand alone, you need to taste this wine. Sleek, sappy and firm, with a vigour that forever holds its grip. Black and bramble fruits, Iris, sandalwood, iodine and minerals. Tense and vigorous, tight and coiled; you get the sense that it […]

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. The lion’s share of the fruit comes from vines with an average age of around 35 years, planted on the local sandy, limestone-rich soils (known as millarges), while between 20 and 30% is drawn from slightly younger vines on gravelly soils. […]

Bernard Baudry Chinon Les Grezeaux 2019
$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 […]

Bernard Baudry Chinon Les Granges 2020
$40.00Organic. 100% Cabernet Franc. Les Granges is the Baudry family’s vin de bistro—a delicious, entry-level Cabernet Franc designed for early drinking. 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 […]

Thibaud Boudignon Anjou Blanc 2021
$100.00The Anjou Blanc is from old densely planted vines, rooted in shallow sand and schist soils. Aged for up to 18 months in 500L and Stockinger “cigar” barrels, 30% of which are new. This is certainly the estates signature style, if more approachable, fuller and rounder than the more aristocratic Savennieres. Clear, tender, transparent and […]

$30.00Syrah from a selection of vineyards in the Barossa and Eden Valleys, judicious use of whole clusters, matured on light lees in a combination of large-format vessels for around 8 months prior to bottling. Deep purple red in the glass, it’s a rollicking, crunchy, bright and sapid ride with a gorgeous plume of plummy fruit, […]

Thibaud Boudignon Savennières Le Clos de Fremine 2021
$205.00Clos de Fremine is planted just below the winery, across the lane from Clos de la Hutte. The soil is sand over schist and what’s most surprising is how different the shape and structure is to Clos de la Hutte. Clos de Fremine is the most delicate, refined, lifted and floral with a structure of […]

Thibaud Boudignon Savennières Clos de la Hutte 2020
$275.00”The 2020 Clos de la Hutte is a wine that makes your shoulders drop such is its tranquility and sense of comfort in your mouth. It blooms in the mouth and does so without any sense of heaviness. The finish, scented with flowers and nectarines, is long, fragrant and textural. I hate using the word […]
