Chinon Grezeaux Domaine Bernard Baudry Chinon Aoc, 2023

Chinon Grezeaux from Domaine Bernard Baudry is a refined Loire red that showcases Cabernet Franc at its most precise and expressive. Sourced from one of Chinon’s most respected names, it combines freshness, structure and mineral depth in a style that has helped define the region’s reputation for elegant, terroir-driven wines.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a bright ruby color with youthful vibrancy. The nose is lifted and aromatic, with notes of red berries, violets, graphite, earthy spice and the subtle herbal character often associated with Cabernet Franc from Chinon. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and finely textured, balancing juicy red fruit with savory mineral undertones, lively acidity and polished tannins. The 2023 vintage should offer early appeal, while still having the structure to develop complexity over the next few years.

Production
Grezeaux is a single-parcel wine from Domaine Bernard Baudry, an estate known for working with the diverse soils of Chinon and expressing them with clarity. The vineyards benefit from the Loire’s cool continental influence and the mineral-rich terroirs of the region, which help preserve freshness and aromatic precision. Fermentation and ageing are carried out with a focus on purity and site expression, with vinification designed to highlight fruit, structure and the character of the vineyard rather than heavy oak influence.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast poultry, duck, grilled lamb, charcuterie, mushroom dishes and Loire-style goat cheese. Serve it slightly cool, around 15–17°C, to bring out its freshness and aromatics. Decanting for 30 minutes is recommended if opened young, especially to soften the tannins and allow the bouquet to open up.

Producer
Domaine Bernard Baudry is one of the standout estates in Chinon, widely respected for its thoughtful approach to Cabernet Franc and its clear expression of local terroir. Bernard Baudry helped elevate the estate to international recognition, and today it is regarded as a benchmark producer in the Loire. The domaine is known for consistency, precision and wines that combine elegance with authentic regional character.
