Sipping Fine Wine

9.0

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 with a juicy mineral character.

Fruity and light perfect pairing with light meals. Had it with a tiramisu and it brought a good balance to the chocolate flavor — 12 days ago

Latest vintage of the best Chenin no one knows about. Super Chenin nose. Honey, vanilla almonds, honeysuckle, so clean, very mineral and so pure. Palate is intense and rich with amazing texture and complexity. So brilliant. Amazing balance and the wine just buzzes in your mouth. Wow. So complex. Insane structure and density. So clean. What a finish. So young. So juicy. — 2 months ago

Yes it is biodynamic which I tend to dislike, moreover this wine travels very badly and most of the bottles I drunk in the USA were bad. Surprise this one is really good. Color straw golden (my wife immediately caught on and looked surprised until I told her “bio”. Slightly oxidative, smokey, good mineral content. Warm vintage but pulls it off. Best coulee I ever tasted in NY. — 3 days ago
