Chinon AOC La Croix Boissée 2020 Bernard Baudry

Bernard Baudry's Chinon La Croix Boissée is a 100% Cabernet franc from the Loire Valley. After completing his oenology studies in Beaune, Bernard Baudry founded his Domaine in 1975. The company cultivates 32 hectares of vineyards in the municipality of Cravant, where the vines grow on very different soils. With the separate vinifications of the various vineyard plots, the company is able to successfully express the terroir of Chinon.

After the manual harvest of the grapes, the must is vinified in cement and subsequently the wine matures in barriques of various passage for at least 24 months.

In the glass it is quite intense ruby red. On the nose there are aromas of red and black fruits, cherries, blueberries, spices and mineral notes. On the palate the wine reveals its body and its balance, with a fruity and citrusy sip, of great persistence.

The ideal pairing is with braised meats and baked game.
