Hauts Baigneux

Touraine Cabernet Franc, Chenin Blanc, and Grolleau from the Middle Loire Valley.

Hauts Baigneux sits in Touraine, the heart of the Middle Loire Valley, where cool-climate viticulture shapes wines of mineral precision and restraint. The winery works with the region's signature varieties: Cabernet Franc, which yields the structured red Sanguine; Chenin Blanc, captured in the complex Clos des Brancs; and Grolleau, a local variety that expresses the terroir's distinctive character. These wines have been assessed by Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast, reflecting the winery's engagement with serious wine criticism. Touraine's continental climate and diverse soils—from clay to limestone—create conditions for wines that balance ripeness with acidity, fruit with structure. Hauts Baigneux's portfolio demonstrates the region's capacity for both elegant whites and age-worthy reds, each rooted in the Loire's cool-climate philosophy.
