Producer Domaine Bernard Baudry
Region, Country Chinon, France
Bottle Size 750ml
Product Code 25605-750
Organic. 100% Cabernet Franc. Les Grézeaux is drawn from the estate’s oldest vines, aged between 50 and 70 years, planted on a gravelly terroir over limestone and clay on the Sonnay plateau above Cravant (in front of the Baudry cellar). The grapes are picked by hand and the fruit ferments in cement vats for 15 to 20 days. It then matures in cement until bottling two winters after the harvest. Of all the domaine’s wines, Les Grézeaux has advanced the most, perhaps due to the series of warm and dry seasons that this terroir loves. It’s the most restrained wine in this offer—it’s more mineral and floral than spicy—while still retaining lovely generosity.

Reviews

"The youthful 2023 Les Grézeaux offers fresh and pure fruit with bright, salivating acidity. This was sourced from vines growing on the gravel sands just in front of the winery. Winemaker Mathieu Baudry concedes that it's the most difficult of his sites for which to nail the picking date, with a perfect window of just two to three days. There's a definite flesh to the mid-palate, though it doesn't even reach medium body. This aged in cement tanks rather than oak and offers youthful blackberry and raspberry fruit notes. There's a hint of savory smokiness that could be from the gravel or a slight touch of reduction. The 2023 can be enjoyed in the first six to nine years of its life."
