Le Clos Guillot

2006 Chinon Cabernet Franc

Bernard Baudry Le Clos Guillot is a remarkable expression of Cabernet Franc from the illustrious Chinon region, known for its terroir that beautifully forms the character of the wine. This red wine captivates the senses with its alluring deep ruby color and enticing aromas of dark berries, pepper, and subtle herbal notes. On the palate, it showcases a medium body with a delightful balance of acidity, providing a refreshing lift while complementing the vibrant fruit intensity. The tannins are elegantly integrated, offering a touch of structure without overwhelming the fruit, which remains prominent throughout the tasting experience. This wine is delightfully dry, making it an ideal companion for a variety of dishes, from roasted meats to hearty vegetarian fare. With its complexity and finesse, the 2006 vintage is a testament to Bernard Baudry's dedication to producing high-quality wines that truly reflect their origins.

France

While it was not the first country to master winemaking, no other country has determined the course of wine and wine culture as much as France. From the sparkling wines of Champagne to the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of Burgundy; from Bordeaux's sumptuous blends to Alsace's Riesling; and from the Loire Valley's Sauvignon Blancs to exciting new regions like Pays d'Oc in the south, France has given the world nearly all the major styles and grape varieties that dominate what we drink today. There are numerous reasons why France and wine are so inextricably linked, but perhaps the foremost is geography. Few places can rival France's unique array of hot and cool-climate regions and the abundant maritime influences and mountainous terrain found throughout the country.
