Baudry Chinon in Irish Times last Saturday

John Wilson's tasting nore from Irish Times, Saturday, May 15th, 2010

Chinon Les Granges, Domaine Bernard Baudry 2008, 12%, €14.99.
I mentioned Baudry in passing a few weeks back as one of my favourite producers of Cabernet Franc in the Loire. Since then I have had the opportunity to taste this wonderful elegant wine once more. It offers up some very intense, pure summer fruits and leafy notes, bound lightly by some dry tannins. It may improve further, but irresistible now. This would go perfectly with slightly fatty pork dishes, hot or cold. Stockists: On the Grapevine, Dalkey; Liston’s, Camden Street (both Dublin); World Wide Wines, Waterford; Market 57, Westport; The Wine Room at No. 1 Pery Square, Limerick.

Couldn't have put it better myself...

I had the pleasure of tasting through the wines Carol brought back from Alsace in the shop on Saturday, went for the Ostertag Riesling and enjoyed it with some tarte flambée that evening! Blog post to follow...
