Bernard Baudry

Bernard Baudry produces wines from Chinon, in the Middle Loire's Touraine district, where cool-climate conditions and slate-rich soils define the terroir. The winery's portfolio centers on Cabernet Franc—the region's signature red variety—and Chenin Blanc, which thrives in these conditions. La Croix Boissée Chinon Blanc, made from Chenin Blanc, and La Croix Boissée Chinon Rouge, a Cabernet Franc expression, anchor the range alongside Franc de Pied, also Cabernet Franc. These wines have been assessed by Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, and Decanter. Chinon reds are typically structured and mineral-driven, with the region's Cabernet Francs showing herbaceous notes and firm tannins; the whites display the aromatic and high-acid character Chenin Blanc is known for. The winery's focus remains on expressing the specific character of its vineyard sites through these classic Loire varieties.
