The 2022 Rosé Chinon opens with a pretty blend of sweet spice, young peaches and freshly shaved pine. This is soft and round with a bump of zesty acidity and minerals that add tension. Ripe strawberry and melon tones wash across the senses. The 2022 finishes with decent length and a pleasantly chewy sensation as un tea and candied orange hints fade. (Eric Guido, Vinous, June 2023)

Jun 22nd, 2023With no skin contact, just pressing, the 2021 Rosé Chinon is a totally dry, firm and direct style leaving no compromise. Fermented in cement but left on lees with no sulphur added, there's a hint of oxidative character. The ose presents a nutty, pastry note as well as dried apples alongside subtle red fruit. A savory, pale salmon-hued rosé with some phenolic firmness. (Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous, August 2022)

Forest berry, some fun tropical fruit. Wood spice. Typical cab franc qualities emerging with air. So much energy. Lovely.

May 30th, 2022The 2020 Chinon Rosé is a very pure, dry, mid-weight that offers delicate raspberry notes, but this is as much about structure as it is about fruit. The flint soils contribute a slight phenolic texture and length to the finish. A serious food rosé, made with a blend of 50% flint and 50% alluvial soils, and hand-harvested and gently pressed.

Nov 11th, 2020Baudry’s 2019 Chinon Rosé offers suave, mineral-accented aromas of fresh red berries and tangerine on the sharply focused nose.

Lingering orchard fruit and apples. Better than the Raffault but still hot palate wine. Whyyy

Jun 11th, 2020Glistening orange-pink. Vibrant, mineral-accented strawberry, cherry, pink grapefruit and floral scents are complemented by a spicy white pepper accent. Intense red berry and bitter orange pith flavors show sharp delineation and an appealingly light touch. Closes floral and long, displaying firm tension and resonating minerality.
