BACKGROUND:
Located in Montagne-Saint-Emilion Château Franc Baudron has been in the Guimberteau family since 1923. This estate is about family, generations of farmers who have put their blood, sweat, and tears into their land. The family believes that all of those generations have each left their own footprint and today the newest generation consisting of Sophie Foray, her husband Charles, and her brother Vincent are beginning to leave their own. Committed to leaving the land better than they found it they have converted all of the vineyard sites to biodynamic viticulture and continue to strive for a complete self-sustaining environment.

The wines of Château Franc Baudron are true Bordeaux. Charles isn’t looking for an overripe, new world style, instead the wines show a confident power without having to slap you in the face. There is an elegance and balance to them that harkens back to an era of Bordeaux that existed before we began to value scores over terroir.

WINE ENTHUSIAST RATED THIS 93 POINTS SAYING:
“This fine wine from vineyards east of Pomerol and north of Saint-Émilion is still young. It shows its potential in the rich tannins and solid structure, giving ripeness, dense, juicy black fruits a sense of power. It needs to age over several years. Drink from 2027.”
