Community Tasting Note

Saturday, January 5, 2013 - A fantastic wine. Relatively young vines from chalky-limestone soil. While I love the gravel soil based Domaine and Grezeaux wines for their raw and unadulterated expressions of Loire Cab Franc, this approaches the grape from a completely different angle. Subdued but very pure nose with a bit of animale in the background. Elegant, almost silky fruit on the palate without a lot of the earthy, green tobacco notes that Cab Franc often displays. This doesn't have the huge structure and substance of the Croix Boissee bottling (although to be fair, I haven't tried the 2010 version yet). But it makes up for it in spades with its elegance and clarity. Very well balanced, I have no doubt that this will age well, but be sure to try one young as it is currently drinking quite well. I love how each of the cuvees in the Baudry range express themselves in completely different ways. Yet another slam dunk from the Baudrys.
