Chateau de la Grille, Chinon

Excellent visit. Beautiful estate. Arrived unannounced and were made very welcome. The tasting was very informative and all of the wines delicious. We shall certainly return to enjoy the full tour and replenish our supplies! A huge thank you!

We dropped in unannounced after a scheduling mix-up with another winery and had a great tasting. Got to try through the lineup, she opened some older vintages and overall great experience with wines that we dont get in our market. Thank you for accommodating last minute!

We drove out during regular business hours, and arrived as they were starting up a group. They asked us to wait 15 minutes. After that they asked us to take a self guided tour for another 30 minutes. We did that too. Then we waited another 20 minutes to speak for just one minute to the girl who kept us waiting three times. She couldn’t be bothered. I lived in Paris for ten years and am fluent in French. Very fluent. If you like being punished and lied to for hours, definitely go to this place. I’d suggest not even dreaming of a visit without a prior WRITTEN reservation, which is not mentioned anywhere on their brochures or website. I’m not even sure that would help, but I like to give the benefit of the doubt. Epic fail.

A really interesting and informative tour and a good tasting afterwards in which we learned a lot from the growing and tasting process. The only negatives are the wine itself. We liked a rose but only the most expensive red we tried was any good.

I have known the Baudry family since my childhood, with my father Jean. Then came the merger between Baudry Junior and Dutour, it worked perfectly. And now they have a very nice location for wine tasting. Very nice staff. It's worth being a member, there are discounts for that. Very good value for money.
