Winery Bernard Baudry

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.

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.

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.
