Domaine Bernard Baudry Les Grézeaux Chinon Cabernet Franc 2017

Peter van den Besselaar

Vintage 2017 | Well balanced. Serious. Spicyness. Textbook Cab Franc and still so much different from the Bourgueil we drank yesterday. Minerals. Paired with Cantonese beef and mango.

Vintage 2017 | Very lean and elegant wine. Drinks very easy, no frayed edges, supple and friendly. Very curious how this wine will develop. | Paired with veal meat

Decant this bad boy for at least a half hour, give it a big swirl and you’ll get a wine that has an earthy backdrop that lays down in your mouth and plants delicate tannin roots and sprouts blackberries and purple flowers and maybe a red rose. When I finish this bottle, mayhaps I’ll put a rose in it too.

Nice funky french

Hanibal

No brett and all that loire cab franc taste. Needs time i think it seemed shut down

William Paley

Firecrackers, farms, zines. Symmetrical. Outstanding.

Hillary & Dave

Red fruits and barnyard on the nose with velvety smooth fruits, green, and black pepper on the pallet. Opened up nicely.

A bit surprised given the general acclaim for Baudry (and my general appreciation for Chinon), but I didn’t love this. Nice deep purple in the glass. Incredibly herbal on the nose, almost deeply medicinal. Palate is a smidge disjointed, even with a lot of air. Medium finish but quite lacking in acid. Definitely interesting but not my favorite.
