To meet Guy Baudin, you will need to visit the small hamlet of Lodges in Nievre, 200 km south of Paris.

GROUND

I attached it in the small hamlet of Lodges. Everything is succession of small houses (lodges), dedicated in ancient times, the halts of sailors period. This hamlet is located in a basin, surrounded by vineyards.

T soil is composed of clay and limestone, marl kimmerdigiennes footprints, found elsewhere also Chablis (distance of just 150 kms).

Allez go there too, in his vineyards, and finally understand that everything starts-row la.Des vibrant, green grass, dandelion, some vines that exude an airy floor …
Courage, he must, of passion, of course, too! Otherwise, impossible to develop wines worthy of the name.

U not growing vines, said, without chemical treatments, or herbicides. It was in the 70s that daddy and son have realized how, their vineyards, their soils and needed to regain life.
E together, they go back to work and react. Now the work is inspiring, vines extract their best land, the roots, the wines amazing life, floral and smoked. Not to mention the depth.

CATTLE

T grape is hand picked and sorted prior to being pressed. The juice is pressed into temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks without yeast foreign …

T wine remains in the tanks for two or three months. Over the weeks, the lees will settle to the bottom of the tank, and form the binding. It is this that will feed and give the wine its structure, its structure and its passion.

S ince always, the field Baudin Guy worked well, this method of winemaking remains unchanged, because it gives the wine all their characteristics depending on the vintage. The cold days, and especially the wonderfully expressed minerality, with a breeding well cared for.
