Justine Baudry Les Pierds Sur Terre 2025

Justine Baudry established her own domaine, Le Clos des Religieuses, in Montrichard in 2024, bringing experience gained from working with respected producers including Philippe Alliet in Chinon and Jean and Pierre Gonon in the Rhône. Coming from a family with four generations of winemaking history, she now farms seven hectares in Touraine, using organic methods as the vineyards progress through conversion to organic certification. Les Pieds sur Terre comes from Gamay vines planted on sandy soils over clay, producing a style that puts freshness, fruit and approachability first.

Made from 100% Gamay, the 2025 is hand harvested and undergoes a 7-10 day maceration before spending five to six months in old oak barrels. The oak adds a little softness without masking the lively fruit of the grape. Expect juicy raspberry, red cherry and fresh redcurrant, with a gentle touch of spice, supple tannins and a refreshing finish. An easy-going Loire red with plenty of character, particularly enjoyable lightly chilled alongside charcuterie, roast chicken, grilled pork or mushroom dishes.
