Red dry
Les Grézeaux is a concentrated yet balanced and smooth wine, owing to the dominant gravel in the soil and the estate's oldest vines, which reach 60 years of age. The wine is aged for 15 months in concrete tanks and bottled unfiltered. On the nose, the wine reveals aromas of forest floor, plum, roasted red pepper and black pepper.
Aging potential of 10 years.
Serve at 16–17 °C with meat stews with vegetables and wild mushrooms.
Bernard Baudry, son of a winemakers’ family, started his professional life as a vine-tending consultant at the Tours laboratory, where he worked with Jacques Puisais. He had previously studied oenology in Beaune. His 5 years on the job served as an excellent apprenticeship when in 1975 he decided to start his own estate with 2 hectares of vines. His son Matthieu studied in the Mâcon area, then in Bordeaux, and, after a year working in Tasmania and California, joined his father in 2000. Domain now has 32 hectares of vineyards spread across the AOC Chinon, in Cravant les Coteaux and Chinon.The grape is grown primarily 90% Cabernet Franc (90%) plus a small production of Chenin Blanc. The vineyards are located on very varied terroirs of gravel in the plain, limestone clay on coteau and sandy limestones plateaus. This diversity offers us the possibility of applying piecemeal winemaking.
