WINE DESCRIPTION

Bernard Baudry Chinon Rouge is a highly sought-after wine produced by Bernard Baudry, a renowned winemaker in the Chinon appellation of the Loire Valley. The wine is made from Cabernet Franc grapes grown in the vineyards that feature a mix of clay and limestone soils, which impart unique flavors and aromas to the wine. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including hand-harvesting, natural fermentation, and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is a classic expression of Chinon Rouge, with a medium-bodied style, vibrant acidity, and a complex bouquet of red fruit, herbs, and spices. It is a perfect match for grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and aged cheeses.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Bernard Baudry Chinon Rouge is an impressive, structured red wine from the Loire Valley of France.On the nose, it holds an intoxicating aroma of ripe red berries and baking spices. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and concentrated, with juicy raspberry and black cherry flavors, complemented by notes of cedar, clove, and black pepper. The tannins are fine-grained yet graceful, and the finish is long and complex. Enjoy this wine with grilled meats or roasted vegetables.
