2014 Chinon “Les Grézeaux”
Bernard Baudry
★ $30.00
From Bourgueil, it’s a quick dash to Chinon, where the sandy gravel soil gives a powerful, virile element to the berry fruit palate. The Cabernet Franc earthiness is here, like a breath of mossy forest floor, without the funk. Bernard’s son Mathieu tells us the Grézeaux vineyard does particularly well after a sunny late season, such as the one they had in 2014. A bit of that sun manifests itself in the glass, rounding out the already supple tannins. –Emily Spillmann
