| Community Tasting Notes (average 92 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 4 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by eluebchow on 2/7/2016 & rated 92 points: Fresh and lively, with a penetrating bouquet of peach, pear and some salty minerals; There's great acidic cut on the finish, with some lingering floral notes; Drinking very well right now (1201 views) | | | Tasted by vulgar little monkey on 6/2/2007: A replacement for the Huet (sort of). I’ve written about this wine before and it didn’t disappoint this night. Really penetrating, enthralling nose of mineral, green apple, flowers and such. Great intensity and an almost pine-y sappiness with great minerality and precision on the palate. Certainly the best vintage for this wine and a wine to watch in the future. It seems to have the stuffing to age, but I’m not sure that I will. It will be so good over the next 3-4 years, why bother? (2783 views) | | | Tasted by vulgar little monkey on 12/23/2006: This wine is just amazing to drink. Beautiful, nuanced nose of chalky flowers and pitted white fruits. The palate is fairly generous, not razor like, but quite crystilline. This wine is drinking so well now, I'm not sure how long my remaining bottles will last. (2515 views) | | | Tasted by br on 5/13/2006: Smells like the blue sky! Clean, stoney, citrus, honey. Rich texture with a long honeyed finish. Still young and the acidity needs some time to settle down. Nice wine. (2537 views) |

Rockss and Fruit (1/24/2007)
(Bernard Baudry "La Croix Boissee" Blanc) This was riveting wine. I mean really rivetting. Rosy the riveter rivetting. It had beautiful Chenin fruit on the nose with apricot, pear and even a hint of exotic citrus. This wine is aged in old oak and it adds a beautiful textural element that makes this sexy juice so easy to go down. Concentrated and elegant with exceptional purity and ripeness and a long finish that coats your palate. This wine was smiling at me the whole time I was drinking it and I was smiling right back.....and that is a big task as I have not been smiling much lately. All hail Bernard Baudry! |

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)
