When I was in Bandol many of the restaurants would automatically bring out a Champagne ice bucket with any red Bandol wine younger than a few years old. I was told the ideal chill was to put the bottle in the bucket of ice water for exactly 2 minutes and then take it out and serve. Seemed to work pretty well for me. Young Chinon seems similar. Of course, to really get the most out of them I like to sit with them a while and see them develop in glass during which time they warm up pretty quickly.<BR/><BR/>Love the Baudry wines. The 05's were fantastic and have heard great things about the 06. Just bought half a case of the Croix Boisee but haven't taken delivery of it yet so haven't tried it. Looking forward to it!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the note on the basic cuvee!<BR/><BR/>Cheers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-33531578714857450162009-01-23T18:20:00.000-05:002009-01-23T18:20:00.000-05:00how could such a thing be wrong Chris? i prefer ma...how could such a thing be wrong Chris? i prefer many of these loire reds with a bit of a chill, say 15 minutes removed from cellar temp.Brooklynguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16321573602782343974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-75323019616986851832009-01-23T16:14:00.000-05:002009-01-23T16:14:00.000-05:00Totally off-topic, and I don't know (or frankly ca...Totally off-topic, and I don't know (or frankly care) if this is considered just plain wrong, but if Chinon is lightly chilled it makes a fantastic summertime apperatif.<BR/><BR/>Toot toot!<BR/><BR/>www.wine-gums.comChris Townendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00795203537419347484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-70950864954444456772009-01-21T21:22:00.000-05:002009-01-21T21:22:00.000-05:00grezeaux thus the additional structure and longevi...grezeaux thus the additional structure and longevityAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-78927337223189531862009-01-21T20:44:00.000-05:002009-01-21T20:44:00.000-05:00ah..Grézeaux.

If you want to see the highest potential of the<BR/>grape vinified as a mono-cépage, look no further. The 2006 “Domaine” bottling<BR/>from Baudry is particularly successful because the Grézeaux vineyard, normally<BR/>bottled separately, was blended into this cuvée and adds significant structure and<BR/>complexity. This is marvelous Cabernet at twenty bucks, and you can down it<BR/>now or enjoy it over the next decade."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-65124178951212013962009-01-21T20:24:00.000-05:002009-01-21T20:24:00.000-05:00i got the information straight from kermit lynch's...i got the information straight from kermit lynch's monthly newsletter..check the last two or three newsletters from 2008 if you want to read it for yourself.<BR/><BR/>also note you will not find grezeaux on the marketplace..the other cuvees like boisee have been out for months and grezeaux would have been released at the same time or earlierAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-10609061739586692902009-01-21T19:59:00.000-05:002009-01-21T19:59:00.000-05:00hi sadams62 - I didn't know that about 2006.

It was added to the Cuvee Domaine. This is a long lived wine that is a steal by one of the Loire's best producers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
