Domain 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, Domain Bernard Baudry has 30 hectares of vineyards spread over 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 Domain Bernard Baudry vineyard is managed with respect for the environment, with extensive work in the vineyard and manual harvesting. At Domain 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.

Note : RVF 16/20
La Croix Boissée white is produced in very small quantities, and is one of Chinon's rare wines! A white with fruity notes of pear and citrus. A taut, finely spiced wine, very seductive... A very pretty bottle!

New vintage, 2009 rated: Robert Parker 90/100
This Chinon is a brand-new cuvée de Blanc, expressing beautiful fruit and elegance. Citrus notes are supported by fine acidity. It's a dry white that goes perfectly with fish and shellfish, produced in very limited quantities... Enjoy it now!
