The Baudry family has owned the Domaine de la Perrière in Cravant-les-Coteaux (the principal village of the Chinon appellation) since 1398. Christophe Baudry is the current owner of the domaine. In 1990, Christophe’s father, Jean Baudry - brother of highly reputed producer Bernard Baudry - handed him the reins of the domaine.
Meanwhile, in 1993, Jean-Martin Dutour took over the winemaking duties at a neighboring Chinon domaine called Domaine de la Roncée. In 2003, these two highly respected vignerons combined their domaines. They subsequently bought two other châteaux in Chinon and sell wines from these 4 properties under the Baudry-Dutour brand.
A description of the terroir: under the soil is a yellow tufa foundation. In the winter, subject to the rains, the tufa soaks up the water like a sponge and slowly releases it during the summer. The vines push their roots far down into the ground ready to contend with the seasons. On the surface is a slightly clayey, chalky sand - a light soil which warms quickly as the winter ends allowing the vine to bud.
Baudry-Dutour has adopted a sustainable approach employing tillage, bio-protection, and permaculture methods over the last 15 years and has attained the designation 'HVE' - the highest level of environmental certification in France.
