Chinon Rosé, Bernard Baudry - 2024

750 mL
Item # 28542

Very light, delicate. Strawberry nose and palate, with a floral, citrus, stone mid-palate. There is nice complexity here, but only if you are careful to look for it; otherwise, it comes across as a wonderful but simple, high-toned summer sippers.

It’s laced with a flinty minerality and shows a touch savory cucumber. It’s a great refresher for a summer afternoon.

Loire

There’s a lot to remember when it comes to the Loire. Novices, take note: Cabernet Franc is a great alternative to Cabernet Sauvignon, Muscadet is unparalleled as a companion to shellfish, and Cour Cheverny is the best white wine appellation you’ve never heard of. As diverse as Loire wines are, one day soon you'll know your Melon de Bourgogne from your Romorantin.

Cabernet Franc

Relegated to moderate obscurity in modern times, Cabernet Franc is in fact the proud parent of the attention-hogging Cabernet Sauvignon (after an illicit affair with Sauvignon Blanc a hundred-odd years ago). Cabernet Franc has remained close to its roots in France, enjoying small pockets of popularity primarily in the Loire Valley (specifically in Chinon), where it is often bottled as a varietal wine, and in Bordeaux where it is still used in moderate percentages in the typical blends. In fact,...
