2012 Domaine Bernard Baudry Chinon Le Clos Guillot

5/3/2024 - MrOctoberfest Likes this wine: NR

Opened as an emergency replacement for a 2018 Baudry Boissee that was punishingly youthful. This has graphite, chalky tannins and boysenberries. There are green peppers on the nose, but that fades into silky fruits on the palate.

This is not yet mature, but a joy to drink now. Perhaps another 5 to 10 years from peak?

Excellent stuff; ripe, rich and juicy. Went well with Sicilian-style swordfish. More purple than red, this has a very regal appearance. Viscous and leggy, too. Gorgeous floral nose, and oodles of ripe fruit in the mouth. Not picking up a ton of bell pepper, but so what? I sure wish I could get my hands on more of this. 5-13-17-9: 94/100.

Only my 2nd Croix Boissee ever, and this is obviously very young. Significant oak influence pretty much dominates everything right now. Could easily pass for Bordeaux or (gasp!) Napa Cab currently. I’m putting the cork back in and reevaluating tomorrow. Still shows great promise.

On open some subtle funk (reductive and/or Brett); after an hour in the decanter, quite clean and floral (violets). Inky purple. Med- body. This is quite elegant and Burgundian. There are lovely blue fruits and some nice spice that builds into the finish (including a bit of pyrazine). Also something mineral in the finish.

This isn't the most complex Baudry I've had and I'm not sure that it's built the for the ages but it is really nice and complete ... Somewhat weightless and very fresh with everything in the right place.

Part 2 Produttori del Barbaresco 2009 horizontal. Starter. Aired in bottle for 1 day already. Drank in Conterno Sensory.
Appearance is clear, deep intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of earth, green capsicum and stem, dark herbs, blackberries, black cherries, dark violets. Developed.
On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium alcohol (13%), medium+ tannins, medium+ body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of rustic earth, capsicum spices, green herbs, blackberries, black cherries, smoky tobacco. Long finish.
Very good quality. I am quite forgiving of green notes nowadays, and when not overly dominant, they add to the overall complexity character. Nice Cab Franc. Bernard Baudry always reliable.

Day 1: Coravin-ed at cellar temperature. Immediately classic aromas, beef stock, tobacco, pasture, cherry, violets, tons going on, true bottle bouquet. Mid-weigh with a linear profile, crunchy red fruit, tobacco and minerality. Clean, pure, direct profile. Medium plus acidity, furry tannins on the finish, mostly resolved. This will continue to age, though whether it will improve from its current plateau is a matter of personal preference.

Day 2: Popped cork to finish bottle. Less feral, black currant, mint and menthol are more forward now. Otherwise, consistent with its gravelly, earthy origins. Such a singular wine, not a 'vin de garde', yet age-worthy and archetypical in its expression.

17/18/19 side by side blind. My preference was in that order. 17 was the cleanest and comparatively elegant and red fruited. I got the 18/19 backwards as the latter was bigger, riper, and not so clean. Both freshened up after being open for a day and need lots of time.

A big boi for sure. Lots of sweet ripe fruit, very giving upon opening, tannins get chalky as time goes on.

This is my first tasting of the 2018 version of this cuvée. It’s still rather young, almost primary. Crunchy cranberries, tart raspberry and pungent sandalwood from attack to finish. Something herbal appearing by the finish along with a touch of licorice. While I know this is an earlier drinking wine in the Baudry line up, I recommend holding for a bit more. A thick coating of sediment from the bottom of the cork spreading out along the neck and deep into the shoulder of the bottle. 14.3% alc. With leftover grilled bone-in (beef) ribeyes. 04.21.24. Recommended.

Very nice - while I don't have a lot of experience with Baudry's rose', having only tasted three vintages, these do strike me as one of the more interesting wines to age in this category.

Light citrus notes on the nose, with zippy acidity on the palate. Very nice, and while I have more, not a wine I feel compelled to drink in the short term.

Penultimate bottle. Very good, maturing nicely, red fruits, tobacco leafy, gravel, almost Graves-like. Good density of fruit, lean, still a bit of tannin but deepening flavour.

Some reduction in the nose, although able to detect some fruits and herbacious notes. It is not the classical Hydrogen Sulfide "blocked drain/sewer/rotten egg" smell but a more gentle musky, rural Brettanomyces smell.
The wine is satisfactory in the mouth, considering the difficult year. Fruit forward but simple, lighter body, and at the best medium finish.
Does not get anywhere near the producer Alliiet.
This wine is clearly "lightly faulty" meaning it still drinks well with ok fruit...

Day 2: Brett disappeared???👍
Strange. Lifting score to 86. Red fruit in the nose and no Brett apart from just after removing the cork. Body now medium. The air has clearly done some good for this wine. Quite clearly there is some issues since the Brett is so pronounced one day 1. Causes can be many: poor hygiene, low sulfite levels and a handful of other reasons....

Contrairement à la bouteille précédente, aucune arôme d'écurie, un fruit tout à fait vibrant et une touche de cuir et de fines herbes.
Délicieux

My last bottle of this, and I have to admit that this wine has grown on me. And that is despite some bottle variation. A complex white that has been fun to watch as it has evolved, I would definitely buy this again. Saline notes on the nose, not overly flashy on the palate but something that satisfies - no shock & awe in this glass.

Just after a 2014 Croix Boissée: also mainly cherries, same aromatics, but more on the fruit, less structured, needs some time to get rid of its baby fat. I preferred the 2014 tonight.

PnP. Very good showing, fully mature though still very much in its preferred window. Little to no sign of age on the medium ruby core. Soil, plum, the occasional barn note, some sage and forest, etc. Lovely medium/med+ body with exceptional balance and good+ persistence. A joy. Hard to believe I paid just $22 on release; way over-delivered that on that. Easily highly recommended

Classy cab. franc from Chinon. A mix of fresh cherry, blackberries, ripe forest fruits. Nice acidity, smooth tannins and the earthiness and savory feel that you often see in these Loire wines. Quite open right now, but can surely age.
