Domaine Bernard Baudry La Croix Boissée Chinon Cabernet Franc 2013

Adriana Fabbro

Brett city at first, but blew off with time and became more floral, herbal and pleasant. Smoked cherry, concentrated dark fruit, black pepper, green bell pepper, graphite, tobacco. Nice acidity. Supple, slightly chalky tannins. Enjoyed with ash rind goat cheese from the Loire, homemade mushroom pate and thin mints. Believe it or not, the final pairing actually worked.

Riddley Walker

Сухая чёрная смородина, молодая вишня, свекла, легкий овощной тон, мел, чёрный перец горошком, графит, едва ощутимый след марганцовки. Среднее тело с пульсирующей кислотностью и аккуратными танинами. Ещё очень молодо и первично, концентрированно, с хорошими глубиной и структурой, но пока без элегантности, напряжённо и немного на нервах. С потенциалом. Стоит дать подышать. Интересно перепробовать через несколько лет.

Il y a un peu de réduction, mais ça reste toujours un vin très agréable qui descend tout seul

Said Medina

Another great classic expression of Loire Cab Franc, with nothing to hope for but time. Blind tasted.

Anthony Lombardi

Nose is mostly reduction on open. A full bodied take on Cab Franc, plenty of cool blue fruit to accent the tart cherry notes. Structured, but opens up pretty quickly. Decant it ahead of time to deal with that reductive nose.

Black pepper, blackberries, plums, oak, baking spices, pencil lead and neatness. Med+ body, acidity and tannin. Long finish. This is just a baby!

Joe Weinberger

Great intensity--will be something truly special with more bottle age. From our tasting at Domaine Bernard Baudry in Chinon.

Filippo Bevilacqua

Stinky but delicious. Definitely a bigger chinon than most. Can't wait to see how it develops.....
