Tasting Note
Bernard Baudry Chinon La Croix Boissée 2019 is deep, layered, and powerfully expressive. Aromas of black raspberry, cassis, plum, and dried violets are interwoven with graphite, cedar, and subtle tobacco. The palate is concentrated and structured, showing ripe dark fruit, firm yet refined tannins, and vibrant acidity that carries through a long, mineral-driven finish. Complex, savoury, and poised, this is Cabernet Franc of remarkable depth and precision.
