The story
Bernard Baudry, trained in oenology in Beaune and later a viticultural consultant in Tours, established his own estate in 1975, starting with just a few hectares. Over the years the estate has grown, and since 2000 his son Matthieu has taken a permanent role in its management, contributing to improvements in the quality of the winemaking.
Production philosophy
Parcel-by-parcel vineyard work and single-clone winemaking to express the terroir; hand harvesting, minimal cellar intervention and environmentally respectful practices. The estate favors an approach to winemaking that highlights the origin of the parcels.
Terroir and vineyards
Vineyards are spread between Cravant-les-Coteaux and the commune of Chinon within the Chinon appellation. Varied soils, including gravelly plains, clay-limestone slopes and sandy-limestone plateaux, influence the different styles of wine produced.
