Bernard Baudry Chinon Les Granges '23

This Chinon from Bernard Baudry glows with a vibrant, ruby red color. The nose is a classic and pure expression of Cabernet Franc, offering scents of red currant, raspberry, a distinct note of freshly cut bell pepper, and a subtle earthy undertone. The palate is light-bodied and fresh, with a silky texture, very soft tannins and bright acidity that emphasizes the juicy, red fruit flavors. The finish is clean, crisp, and incredibly refreshing. Sourced from gravelly soils near the Vienne river, "Les Granges" is fermented and aged in neutral tanks to preserve its vibrant, fruit-forward character and make it brilliantly drinkable in its youth. Earning 90 points for its typicity and charm, this is the ultimate bistro wine, perfect served slightly chilled with charcuterie, roast chicken, or grilled salmon.
