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

Unimpressive today closed? Cherry and chalk - Wait for 2 more years may be the Monthelie location catches up after all? I think this will come around. — 8 years ago

Been a little bit since I checked in on this. Baby Clos des Chenes. Nose is all stones, minerals, light cherry and seems closed aromatically. Palate is lush and rich with lovely balance, purity and freshness but seems closed. Lovely finesse. Serious dense fruit and structure. Black and red cherries. Great length but I'll check back in 2 hours if I'm up. If not tomorrow. — 9 years ago

What a value. Like a mini Meursault. Bit tight on the nose but palate has big, ripe Meursault fruit, lovely acidity and length. This is showing out of its mind. Never would guess BB blind. What a showing for this. Florent is a talent. — 9 years ago

Stunner for 2001! Elegant and effusive out of the gate with freshness abound. Hints of mushroomed austerity and salinity that is supremely lifting. Such a treat!! — 8 years ago

I'm Unabashedly weak when it comes to Chenin blanc, but this really rises to the top of the heap in terms of complexity, orchard feel, and tingly finish. Bruised yellow apple and apricot with petrol viscosity, lemon meringue, tongue curling on the back, ending with a little heat — 8 years ago

Excellent petit blanc qui accompagne avec succès des gambas, des sardines et du saumon, le tout cuit au barbecue. Des notes minérales et fruitées, notamment pêches blanches et pamplemousses. — 9 years ago

This was a surprise as I never heard of this producer & one of the few white Burgs on their list. Rich core of orchid fruits, citrus, acacia flower & a saline character with good mineral & acid. — 9 years ago
