Winemaker Notes
"Reveals white flower and orange rind aromas. This medium-bodied, opulently rich, broad, and well-crafted wine is filled with flavors reminiscent of acacia blossoms, tropical fruits, and pears. It is satin-textured, forward, and immensely appealing. This wine is accessible now."

The Baumard family has been wine growing wine at Rochefort in the Anjou for centuries, working with the noble Chenin in what has long been accepted as its natural home, the slate-covered hillside vineyards along the Loire and Layton rivers. In 1953, the Baumard family acquired a vineyard in the Quarts de Chaume, and in 1968, purchased substantial acreage in Savennieres. Jean Baumard, an enologist and educator, as well as grower, introduced significant innovations to the winemaking region, bringing the dry wines of Savennieres, as well as his sweet wines, Quarts de Chaumes and Coteaux du Layon back to prominence. Now in retirement, further innovation has been carried on by Jean's son, Florent.
