Domaine Bernard Baudry Chinon "La Croix Boissée" rouge 2009 (75 cl)

Sur ce vin en particulier:

RVF (sept. 2012): Cabernet franc de forte concentration. Le fruit revient avec les tanins de craie qui relancent une bouche fraîche et de belle garde.

RVF (sept. 2011): Complet, savoureux et toujours d'une grande harmonie dans la finesse de sa matière. La bouteille finie, un grand manque se fera sentir.

Guide Bettane et Desseauve 2012: En retrait pour l'instant, mais la matière est superbe, vraiment savoureuse. Elle évoluera avec charme. Apogée de 2011 à 2018.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (David Schildknecht, août 2010): From chalk-clay over mother chalk on the high escarpment above Cravant, Baudrys? 2009 Chinon La Croix Boissee was tasted from barrel and will not be bottled until shortly before the 2011 harvest. Fresh blackberry touched by brown spices and toasted nuts are allied to deep, marrow-rich meat stock and humus, forest floor notes. Almost like a picture of its site, this exhibits an early incipient sense of creaminess, yet also a firm sense of fine tannin and pure chalky suffusion, and its bright saline and berry skin notes serve for ample invigoration. This is sure to be profound as a finished wine worth following for at least 15 years, though it will of course evolve significantly between now and bottling.
