Sipping Fine Wine

9.3

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. — 6 years ago

Pretty full bodied Pinot, dark cherry, hibiscus, horse Saddle leather, still can taste the cowboys denim, probably Levi wranglers he was wearing. Tight tight behind. * unzips pants while thinking of cowboys.* — 9 years ago

Very deep purple color with ruby hues. On the nose: a bit of minerals, dark red fruit jam and pepper. Taste: medium tannins, a bit dry with hints of dried black cherries, plum and cracked black pepper. Good value. — 9 years ago

Nice full concert with the lighter instruments. Loved it because it takes you on a journey down the fields, across the river and through the woods. — 9 years ago

Perfectly stored bottle and if put in a blind tasting of 1986 First Growths it would be a dead ringer for the Lafite. As Muhammad Ali would've said "Floats like a butterfly, stings like a bee". Fantastic. — 8 years ago

A Pinot with amazing texture and flavor. So far the the best wine from our trip to Oregon wine country. — 9 years ago

Светло-соломенное с зеленью. Очень свежее. Кислотность не чувствуется. Достаточно плотное, тельное, средняя маслянистость. Цитрусовые, цветы. Послевкусие пряное. Очень-очень круто! На каждый день, бюджетно. — 10 years ago

Brilliant fruit. Classic Yamhill profile with dark brooding berry fruit, moderate acid and round tannins. — 7 years ago

9.1

This is a great wine that does not overwhelm the nose. Hints of currant, tobacco, and a savory musky fragrance that reminds you of a fall French morning at the border of the vineyard fields. Voluptuous and silky. Long beautiful legs on the glass. Elegant. Enough said. — 8 years ago
