“Les Grézeaux features a stony character and an elegant floral depth. It will evolve with brilliance and energy over the next ten years.” (Le Guide RVF 2024). A worthy representative of the Cravant terroir, from the estate’s oldest vineyard!

Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2024 guide) 90/100
Rated estate (2026 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)
About the wine:
A supple 2021 with good length that appeals directly to the palate and comes into its own when paired with a Berry-style Easter pâté.
About the estate:
Mathieu Baudry has truly come to appreciate this exemplary estate in Cravant, which also cultivates the black truffle (Melanosporum). His father, Bernard, continues to lend his support both in the vineyard and in the cellar. They have built their reputation on Cabernet Franc wines with aging potential—vibrant, dense, and long-finishing—at an estate that comprises 30 hectares cultivated organically. The wines are named after the terroirs that produce them and remain affordably priced. Les-Granges blends grapes from gravelly and clay soils to produce a supple, fresh wine, while Les-Grézeaux, grown on siliceous clay soils, boasts beautiful finesse and a structure that allows the wine to age well. With greater depth, La-Croix-Boissée offers a wine with a tannic core derived from the clay-limestone soils. The vines of Clos Guillot produce a full-bodied, smooth, and rich wine, ideal for long-term aging. A superb estate that produced an excellent 2019 vintage.

Wine rated (2024 guide) 92/100
Rated estate (2026 guide): 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that—thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines—belong in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)
About the wine:
Les Grézeaux features a stony character and a delicate floral depth. It will develop with vibrancy and energy over the next ten years.
About the estate:
Bernard Baudry seeks to bring out the silky, refined character of Chinon wines while remaining as true as possible to their terroir. This approach, which he pursues alongside his son Matthieu, is complemented by organic certification and has inspired them to plant ungrafted vines—grown from rootstock for the past 10 years (following Charles Joguet’s plantings in the 1980s)—as well as to establish vineyards on forgotten terroirs, such as the excellent Clos Guillot. La Croix Boissée (a clay-limestone terroir in Cravant-les-Coteaux), built for aging, possesses an extra touch of velvety smoothness and, in hot vintages, a hint of sweetness that could delight Saint-Émilion enthusiasts. This cuvée naturally ranks among the top reds of Touraine; be mindful, however, of the animal notes found in certain vintages.
