Domaine Bernard Baudry
Bernard Baudry, from a family of winegrowers in Cravant, started out as a viticultural consultant at the Tours laboratory alongside Jacques Puisais, after studying oenology in Beaune. In 1975, he set up a small 2-hectare estate in the Chinon appellation in the Loire Valley. Today, Domaine Bernard Baudry covers 30 hectares of different soil types, a diversity that enables the application of parcel-based vinification principles, where each wine is distinguished by the nature of its terroir.

The vineyards of Domaine Bernard Baudry are managed with respect for the environment, with extensive work in the vineyard and manual harvesting. At Domaine Bernard Baudry,"in each of our cuvées, we seek to express the elegance, purity and aromatic freshness of Cabernet Franc, in harmony with each of our terroirs". Such is the motto of Bernard Baudry, now joined by his son Mathieu, to produce great Loire wines much appreciated by wine lovers.

"A Chinon with superb substance and remarkable ageing potential!

"The ultimate expression of Cabernet Franc on one of its best terroirs!
