Bernard Baudry Chinon Les Grezeaux, Loire, France 2022 Chateau Beychevelle The estate keeps improving theseGenerously flavored with slow building tannins buried under the weight of succulent fruit, this palate staining wine has a depth and concentration here balanced by bright and crunchy acidity we rarely see in Cabernet Franc. Baudry notes that the vines in Les Grzeaux love warm vintages, and you can tell; the new vintage is a picture of svelte berry fruit lifted by a rippling sparkle from refreshing tannin and bright acidity.
