For a 10$ wine this is brilliant. The fruit alone is worth it. Wow! Let alone the acidity to balance. Fantastic wine. And I am no masochist
Rather a Hedonist
It will be even more awesome in the next 10-20 years I am sure
Thanks for this Claus. I only have a few of these left, wish I had a lot more. I do have six of the Deux Month as well though. I’ve found the '08 is drinking really well in the last year.
I’ve also only stored Deux Monts of this producer - the 2010 and 1 other vintage, I wasn’t as confident about keeping the other 2 labels for longer terms. But the TN is encouraging.
I drink and buy Guion often, but for me, it’s nowhere near the same planet as the top Baudry cuvees, especially Guillot. The Baudry is well worth the 2x or more multiplier. The vintage you drank, 2011 is a though year for Loire Cab Franc. The 2014 and 2015 Baudry range is spectacular, I went deep deep.

I especially find that 2010 and 2014 are superior chez Baudry. (And the wines are hyperbargains, despite they are expensive, compared to Guion)
Looking forward to taste the 2010 Croix Boisee rouge@ age 20
Thanks for the note. I drank my last 2010 five years ago but I enjoyed it very much back then. When I see the Prestige and remember to buy it, I definitely do so.
Thanks to everyone else for the other recommendations.
I buy both producers. I have case bought Guion in good vintages like 2005, 2009, 2010, and 2014. However, I buy all Baudry cuvees with the exception of Granges in every vintage, and I have been buying deep in most vintages with the exception of 2011, and 2013. These are all great wines.
