Bernard Baudry Chinon La Croix Boissee 2021 CS20230804 releasing their first batch inBernard Baudry's flagship Chinon, from a 2. 5 3 hectare south facing site of 25 55 year old vines on clay limestone slopes. This is Cabernet Franc built for aging, delivering power and depth rarely seen in the Loire. The clay soils here give the wine a structure and gravity that set it apart from Baudry's lighter cuvees. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged 24 months in 1 4 year old barrels, then about 9 months in concrete. Expect dark fruit,
