"The Clos Guillot is more dazzling, with a beautiful concentration of substance, still sanguine tannins and a chalky finish. A particular breath of fresh air for this delightful Cabernet Franc de garde." (Le Guide RVF 2025)

Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2025) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
About the domain :
Mathieu Baudry has taken the full measure of this exemplary Cravant estate, which also grows black melanosporum truffles. His father Bernard continues to support him in the vineyard and cellar. They have built their reputation on their Cabernet Franc wines, which are long-lasting, dense and sappy, on a 30-hectare estate that is farmed organically. The cuvées take their names from the terroirs that bear them, and are still affordable. Les-granges blends grapes from gravel and clay soils to produce a supple, fresh wine, while les-grézeaux, from siliceous clay soils, has the finesse and structure to stand the test of time. Deeper, la-croix-boissée offers a wine with a tannic core provided by clay-limestone soils. The Clos Guillot vines produce a full-bodied, suave, fleshy wine designed for long ageing. A superb address that has done well for the 2019 vintage.

About the wine:
The Clos Guillot is more dazzling, with a very fine concentration of substance, still sanguine tannins and a chalky finish. A particular breath of fresh air for this delightful Cabernet Franc de garde.
About the domain :
Bernard Baudry strives for the silky, civilized dimension of Chinon wines, while remaining as close as possible to their terroir expression. This approach, which he pursues with his son Matthieu, is coupled with organic certification and inspires them to plant ungrafted, free-standing vines over the last 10 years (following Charles Joguet's 1980s plantings), as well as planting on forgotten terroirs, such as the excellent Clos Guillot. La Croix Boissée (Cravant-les-Coteaux clay-limestone terroir), built for ageing, has an extra velvety, sometimes sweetness in hot years, which could delight Saint-Émilion enthusiasts. This cuvée naturally takes the lead among the great reds of Touraine, but beware of the animality found in certain cuvées.
