Bernard Baudry Les Granges Chinon Cabernet Franc 2022

“Bernard Baudry is, here and now, one of the leading domaines of the appellation. Some would say the leading domaine of the appellation. The wines are of exceptionally high quality...” Chris Kissack, The Wine Doctor

“The entire wine range displays tender loving care and a light touch: the fruit shows excellent purity.” Rebecca Gibb, Vinous Media

Producteur de très grands vins Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2023: The equal highest-rated domaine in Chinon!

“This estate represents so much of what can be great in French wine today—a fantastic family, vineyards and winemaking worked by the owners, and obsessively terroir-specific drive to capture all of Chinon’s facets.” Parr & Mackay, The Sommelier’s Atlas of Taste

"This is simply astonishing. The first clue is the colour, opaque, the wine eagerly coating the inner surface of the glass. The nose is all sun-dried summer fruits and confit blackcurrants, which continues through onto the palate as a creamed substance, dark and toasted. There are dense fruit complexities here, of black plum, damson, black olives and violets, all wrapped up in a velvety and creamed finish. It has some length too, and also acidity. This is the most striking Les Granges I have ever encountered." 93 Points, Chris Kissack, The Wine Doctor (Previous Vintage Review)

It's packed with fleshy, floral-noted, purple fruit aromas and flavours and finishes with crunchy freshness and mouth-filling perfume. Just what you want from this type of thirst-quencher.
