Domaine des Baumard

Clos du Papillon Savennières Chenin Blanc 2004

Amazing freshness with the 20+ age, spicy nose, pure minerality.
Hints of beeswax, shy quince, salty rocks, the purity here is just insane.
On the palate this hits with brilliant acidity (not far from Fino!), paired with spicy minerality and barely a hint of apples sprinkled with fleur de sel. Great depth and amazing electric tension.
This is brilliant! I am blown away. Wowza!

Clos Rougeard

"Brézé" Saumur Chenin Blanc 2017

Arguably the best chenin I’ve ever had! Good minerality and acidity - with citrus and pear but not the typical “apples all ways” so typical of the varietal. — 8 days ago
