Wine Advocate
Reviewed August 2021The 2015 Chinon La Croix Boissée is intense and floral on the nose, showing ripe, intense and elegant fruit as well as some untamed or even animal flavors that you either accept or don’t. Silky, smooth and elegant on the palate, this is a generous, well-concentrated and structured Cabernet Franc with good freshness, tightly woven and crunchy tannins and a close-meshed limestone structure. The wine has both a certain rustic character as well as a good freshness and finesse. I’d cellar it for at least 10 or 15 years. (SR) 90+
Notes
Bernard Baudry runs an organic estate and their cuvées showcase the varied soil types of the Chinon AOC. La Croix Boissée is a selection of their relatively younger vine plots which have southern hillside exposure of sandy clay topsoil over particularly chalky, white limestone subsoils. The grapes are hand-harvested and the wine is fermented in wood tanks before ageing for 24 months in 1 to 3-year-old barrels.
