“In 2023, on the gravelly soils, Les Grézeaux displays a certain floral character: a Cabernet Franc that expresses itself with great spontaneity.” (Le Guide RVF 2026). A worthy representative of the Cravant terroir, from the estate’s oldest vineyard!

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2026 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production, setting the standard in its sector)
About the estate:
Mathieu Baudry has truly come into his own at this exemplary estate in Cravant, which also cultivates black Melanosporum truffles. His father, Bernard, continues to lend his support both in the vineyard and in the cellar. They have built their reputation on age-worthy Cabernet Francs—vibrant, dense, and long-finishing—at an estate that includes 30 hectares farmed organically. The vintages are named after the terroirs that produce them, with prices that remain accessible. Les-Granges blends grapes from gravelly and clay soils to produce a supple, fresh wine; Les-Grézeaux, grown on clay-siliceous soils, offers beautiful finesse and a structure that allows the wine to age well. Deeper in character, 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, made for long-term aging. A superb estate that has produced an excellent 2019 vintage.

About the estate:
Bernard Baudry seeks to capture the silky, refined character of Chinon wines while remaining true to their terroir. This approach, which he pursues alongside his son Matthieu, is complemented by organic certification and has inspired them to plant ungrafted, ungrafted vines 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, at times, sweetness in hot vintages, which could delight Saint-Émilion enthusiasts. This cuvée naturally takes the lead among Touraine’s great reds; be mindful, however, of the animal notes found in certain vintages.

About the wine:
Les Grézeaux 2023 offers fresh, pure fruit aromas, with a lively, mouth-watering acidity. It comes from vines growing on the gravelly sands located directly across from the winery. The mid-palate is distinctly full-bodied, even if it doesn’t quite reach medium body. This wine was aged in concrete tanks rather than oak barrels and offers youthful fruity notes of blackberry and raspberry. It has a savory smoky touch that could come from the gravel or a slight reduction. The 2023 can be enjoyed within the first six to nine years of its life.
