Bernard Baudry Chinon Le Domaine, Loire, France 2021 Vougeot Dense and full-bodied with creamyThis cuve comes from Bernard Baudry's highest vineyard, which rests on a plateau of gravel, sand, and limestone, and it is arguably their best entry point into the charm of Loire Valley Cabernet Franc, lithe and less dense than the bottlings from their clay and limestone terroirs. Spontaneous fermentation and unfiltered bottling lead to a delicate, peppery wine with notes of blackberries, currants, and leather.
