Attaque mince et douce
Belle acidité au toucher, agrumes, craie et persil
Finale gouleyante, minérale et fraiche
Intéressant (1060 views) | | | Tasted by christyler on 8/6/2017 & rated 93 points: This has developed nicely since checking in three years ago. There's considerable weight and a very nice finish, similar to a solid 1er cru white burg. Slightly lacking in acid, but by no means flabby. (1056 views) | | | Tasted by WEB,III on 4/3/2017 & rated 89 points: Rich, unctuous, upon opening. Tightened up with air. May be more interesting with 5 more years. (1102 views) | | | Tasted by christyler on 9/8/2014 & rated 93 points: Wow. Medium body but excellent concentration. Deft and heavy at the same time. Very mellow and laid back, but very broad shoulders. Would love to watch this evolve over time.
Only odd factor was that it didn't get better with food. But still - so curious to watch the evolution here. (2108 views) | | | Tasted by jrbates11 on 7/3/2014 & rated 89 points: Paired with Truffle Rissoto. On Pnp it was a little closed and a little too cold... but opened up great over the next 40 minutes or so... deep yellow color, medium + body, lots of floral on the bouquet with a hint of pear, apple, honeydew, and lemon peel... palate was similar with fresh fruits, flowers, and a mineral taste that leads me to graphite and/or limestone. medium to long finish, overall a good wine (1923 views) | | | Tasted by eoinhharkins on 9/19/2013 & rated 90 points: Nice mix of citrus and tropical fruit with a hint of nuts, palate is nicely balanced with decent fruit and zippy acidity (2031 views) | | | Tasted by Antti on 8/24/2013: Not sure what's going on here, could be a bit of reduction as taking a sniff my initial note is cabbage. Somewhat odd, but totally obtrusive. Some citrus fruits are detectable too, but the nose isn't too complex, that could change with some age. In the mouth it's got a fresh acidity and focus. Wouldn't have pegged this as a Loire Chenin blind. (1904 views) | | | Tasted by sebastienjm on 6/19/2013 & rated 88 points: Nez frais sur la poire, la pomme verte, bouche tendue et acidulée, joli vin. (1925 views) | | | Tasted by EMichels on 5/14/2013 & rated 89 points: Nice nose; Crisp; Slightly tart (1379 views) | | | Tasted by drwine2001 on 10/23/2012: Visits to Touraine Producers-Baudry, Huet, Foreau...; 10/22/2012-10/24/2012 (Vicinity of Tours, France): Light yellow. Fresh citrus nose. Good texture. Lovely salty, mineral finish. This had so much more snap than most of the 2011 Loire whites we tried. (2707 views) |

A graduate of the Lycée de Beaune, Baudry created his 25-hectare estate out of family parcels and purchased land. He quickly rose to prominence in the appellation for precise, textured Chinon. Baudry is now assisted by his son Matthieu. Baudry’s style exemplifies rich, precise fruit picked at perfect ripeness levels and vinified cleanly using state-of-the-art equipment.Chenin Blanc Varietal character (Appellation America)La Croix Boissée On weinlagen-infoFrance Vins de France (Office National Interprofessionnel des Vins ) | Pages Vins, Directory of French Winegrowers | French Wine (Wikipedia)

2016 vintage:
"Quality and concentration is good, with Chenin Blanc being particularly noteworthy in 2016 while Sancerre is thought to be the best of the Sauvignon Blanc appellations. Cabernet Franc is 'delicious, ripe and fruity' according to Loire courtier Chris Hardy." - Jancis Roninson
