Good material but seemed slightly muted—will revisit day 2.

Bold and super extracted. Bretty too, but in a good way if you believe in such thing. I do :)

Choice stuff - starting open up & blossom! Could own 4or5 of these or one bottle of Rougeard, I'll take the Baudry and enjoy now and down the line!

True to Chinon style. Quality production and vintner! Give it a try you won't be disappointed.

Pronounced acetone-like green notes and some deep mercaptene reductive notes that make me think of barnyard animals. Quite unique and interesting nose with very little primary fruits. Old whiskey barrel notes come out after a while in the glass.

In a mere 1000 years, this will be my favorite wine ever. Baudry is the shit.
