Bernard Baudry 2008 La Croix Boisée Cabernet Franc (Chinon)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $37
With a touch of initial mineral austerity, this still-young wine offers tannins and a solid structure as well as black cherry and dark plum fruits. Beautifully balanced, it will develop slowly, leaving its minerality and rounding out.

Bernard Baudry 2005 Le Clos Guillot Cabernet Franc (Chinon)
One of Baudry’s top wines, Le Clos Guillot is made from ungrafted vines, which seems to give an extra intensity to the fruit, as well as power to the tannins. The fruit and the tannins are dense, solid, intense and complex. This is a ripe, spice- and red fruit-flavored wine, certainly a wine for aging—up to 10 years, maybe more.

Bernard Baudry 2009 Les Grézeaux Cabernet Franc (Chinon)
- Online Exclusive
Old vines, at least 60 years old, are the basis for this soft, wood-aged wine. The texture is smooth, with rounded tannins and density. Flavors include licorice, bittersweet chocolate and black cherries.

Bernard Baudry 2005 Les Grézeaux Cabernet Franc (Chinon)
- Editors' Choice
Bernard Baudry is among the very best producers in Chinon, conjuring rich wines from his vineyards at Sonnay, just east of Chinon. Les Grézeaux is testimony to the power of his wines: full of intensely rich, smoky fruits and dark plums, the tannins are solid, promising at least 3–4 years’aging.
