Domaine Bernard Baudry
Le Domaine Chinon Cabernet Franc
Chinon, Touraine, Loire Valley, France
If you’re looking for the perfect house wine, you can thank me. Wild and free, this is such a classic Chinon that hits every single one of the notes.
Herbs, herbs, and more herbs on the nose to start with. That beautiful barnyard we all know and love. Celery and green bell pepper for days, just so nice. Wet dirt with blue and black berries and the faintest hint of leather.
Very very young and still a bit primary, this has good bones and is still ready to love you now. Needs decanting but after some time and air it shows well. Fresh and alive on the palate, this sings a lovely song. Blueberries and strawberry jam. A little olive tapenade, more mushrooms, and black pepper. This is my kind of wine, my kind of Chinon.

#2 rank in a blind tasting. Luscious feel. More pyrezenes with air. Called right bank bdx.

May be the ultimate bistro wine. 13%. Extreme freshness; goes down like water, but has enough going on to pair perfectly with a spicy pasta bolognese. Baudry doesn’t really miss.

Drank over 2 days.
The nose is quite typical with green pepper bell notes, cherry, Cola and a bit of funk yesterday that went away after a while. The palate is very well made with a big bright cherry note, almost a sweet touch, a great width, a soft, dusty mouthfeel that expands in the rear with cherry notes, a bit of menthol to add a fresher note. This is lovely, in a natural/minimum intervention style. I love this and can't wait to taste their single vineyard cuvée.
