Bernard Baudry and his son Matthieu produce five cuvées of Chinon rouge, the youngest and freshest of which is Les Granges. All their grapes are hand-harvested at optimum ripeness with clean, unfettered vinification (in cement and wood tanks) the key to their varietal correctness. Bright, zesty, meaty, honest.
