I tasted the 2022 Le Clos Guillot a year ago and it was not in good shape. I was not aware that they were unfiltered, unbottled samples and I was scathing of their condition. Now filtered and tasted at the winery, this is like a different wine. It's firm, concentrated, dry and savory, befitting of the 2022 vintage. This is a big wine that forms a sturdy block, moving right along. There is flesh on the palate and plenty of juicy fruit that will open when the tannins mellow. The finish is persistent with rich blackcurrant fruit, prune and tar notes. The 2022 may only be medium-bodied, but it is powerful and long. Give this time for it to show its best.

Domaine Bernard Baudry

Bernard Baudry was born into a Chinon winemaking family in Cravant-les-Côteaux, Loire. Having studied oenology in Beaune, he started making his own wines in 1982, with only two hectares of vines. Today the estate is made up of 30 hectares, from six different sites, all of which are worked without the use of artificial herbicides or pesticides. His wines reflect the great versatility of Cabernet Franc when grown on different sites and are very much 'terroir' driven. Matthieu, his son has been working with Bernard since 2000 and now does most of the wine-making - the tradition continues. Beautiful wines, purely made, crisp and juicy Cabernet Franc.
