Excelente cremant, pera, manzana verde, denso cremoso! — 2 years ago
In 1953, Jean Baumard acquired vineyard in Quarts de Chaume, in 1968, purchased substantial acreage in Savennieres. Today Jean’s son, Florent, manages the winery. Aromas of green fruits, floral and flinty notes. On the palate green apple, pear, melon and slight nutty flavors, well balanced with acidity. Medium+ length ending, no fluttering with fresh juicy mineral, just like the butterfly on the label! Will age well if you can resist opening. — 5 years ago
black pepper blossoms. mind you, I’ve never smelled a peppercorn blossom but I swear that that is what I’m smelling. everyone else picked up on bell pepper- straight peppercorn to me. From the Chaume hillside, 1 of 2 red wines grown on Chaume. — 9 months ago
