2022 Chinon, Les Granges, Bernard Baudry, Loire

Description

This is Domaine Baudry’s ‘opening’ example of Chinon. Committing to their ethos of vineyard expression, this is incredibly well made and yet not fussy. Crip, freshness is balanced out by a focus on maintaining fruit. With no wood after fermentation it has a freshness and vibrancy that is very difficult to not enjoy. Incredibly engaging and very enjoyable. I keep thinking of all the times I can open and enjoy. A fun wine.

About this wine

Cabernet Franc

Cabernet Franc is widely planted in Bordeaux and is the most important black grape grown in the Loire. In the Médoc it may constitute up to 15% of a typical vineyard - it is always blended with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot and is used to add bouquet and complexity to the wines. It is more widely used in St.Emilion where it adapts well to the cooler and moister clay soils - Cheval Blanc is the most famous Cabernet Franc wine in the world, with the final blend consisting of up to 65% of the grape.

Chinon

Chinon

Chinon is an important Cabernet Franc appellation that, at around 2,500 hectares, represents a slightly larger zone than its neighbour Bourgueil. Part of the appellation possesses light, sandy gravel soils to give an easy drinking style, while the remainder is blessed with a tuffeau subsoil from which the wines draw a finer structure and longevity. Neither style approaches the fullness of Bourgueil.
