2018

Bernard Baudry is a highly respected winemaker in the Loire Valley, known for crafting exceptional Chinon wines. The Croix Boissee vineyard is situated on a south-facing slope with soils rich in limestone, clay, and gravel, producing wines of great depth and complexity.

The 2018 Bernard Baudry Chinon Croix Boissee is a standout example of Cabernet Franc from the region. This wine exudes aromas of black cherry, raspberry, and violet, with subtle hints of tobacco and earth. On the palate, it is vibrant and energetic, with a core of ripe fruit, firm tannins, and a long, lingering finish. This is a wine that will age beautifully over the next decade, showcasing the potential of the Chinon terroir.
