Description
The Grézeaux vines are the Baudry’s oldest at around 50 years. They lie on a flat, sandy site near the Vienne River in Cravant, the vineyard has gravel in Grézeaux, giving the wine more weight and length. wine is aged in concrete tank for 15 months and bottled without filtration. Beautiful balance of dark fruit and structure. I am struck by the length that seems to continue for a surprising time. The complexity of this wine made it joyful but almost overwhelming. I kept coming back for further tastes as this wine has immense character and charm.

About this wine
Chinon
Chinon is an important Cabernet Franc appellation that, at around 2,500 hectares, represents a slightly larger zone than its neighbour Bourgueil. Part of the appellation possesses light, sandy gravel soils to give an easy drinking style, while the remainder is blessed with a tuffeau subsoil from which the wines draw a finer structure and longevity. Neither style approaches the fullness of Bourgueil.
