Classic Chinon such as Baudry’s “Domaine” exudes an autumnal vibe that makes it an excellent choice for serving this time of year. Its balance of dark forest berries, rain-soaked earth, and gravelly tannins with a gentle bite make a pristine match for seasonal staples like game meats and wild mushrooms. It’s a textbook Chinon from one of the great traditionalist domaines, and you’ll struggle to find a red as authentic and perfectly suited to your fall table.
