"Bernard Baudry, son of a winemakers’ family, started his professional life as a vine-tending consultant at the Tours laboratory, where he worked with Jacques Puisais. He had previously studied oenology in Beaune. His 5 years on the job served as an excellent apprenticeship when in 1975 he decided to start his own estate with 2 hectares of vines. His son Matthieu studied in the Mâcon area, then in Bordeaux, and, after a year working in Tasmania and California, joined his father in 2000. The domain now has 32 hectares of vineyards spread across the AOC Chinon, in Cravant les Coteaux and Chinon.
The vineyatd is grown primarily to Cabernet Franc (90%) plus a small production of Chenin Blanc (about 10%).
The vineyards are located on very varied terroirs of gravel in the plain, limestone clay on coteau and sandy limestones plateaus. The vineyard has always been maintained according to environmentally friendly methods (no chemical weed killers) guided by observation and common sense depending on the climatic conditions of the year.
The entire vineyard is now conducted in organic farming since 2006."
