2025 Bernard Baudry, Chinon Rose

Domaine Bernard Baudry is a benchmark producer in the village of Cravant-les-Coteaux, where Bernard Baudry established his estate in 1975 before his son Matthieu joined the family operation in 2000. This wine is made from Cabernet Franc grown on varied parcels, including gravelly soils along the river and higher-altitude clay-flint plots. In the glass, it reveals a dry, pale pink color with precise notes of crisp red berries, white fruit, and a distinct mineral tension. The 2025 vintage provided a characteristically fresh profile, balancing the variety's aromatic vibrancy with a firm, energetic structure. It is a versatile, dry selection that is ready to enjoy tonight, offering reliable balance and clear expression of its Loire Valley origin.
