Really like this Wine, tasting ‘17 & ‘18 together, ‘17 notes. The Baumard family growing the noble Chenin at Rochefort in the Anjou for centuries, in 1953 they acquired a vineyard in the Quarts de Chaume, & in 1968, purchased acreage in Savennieres. Straw with full fruit and light spice aromas. On the palate ripe apple, pear & melon, complex, with vivid acidity. Lingering, ending with mineral and sweet honey character. Wow. A white that should age well. Had ‘16 a while ago, and also great!

Here it is Saturday night and tonight's wine is the 2017 Domaine des Baumard Savennières. A very nice Chenin Blanc from the Loire Valley.
On the nose the is pear, honeydew melon, yellow apple, quince, ginger and minerals.
On the palate shows yellow apple, honeyde melon, lime, pear, peach, hazelnuts and minerality.
This wine is medium bodied with medium + acidity that leads me to a long citrus minerality driven finish. A wonderful wine that will last another good 5-10 years. Continued good health to everyone and please be safe. Nostrovia! 🥂🥂🥂🥂
