Fantastic color and fantastic 21 year old wine. Cuvée « les vielles vignes » is awesome. I wish I would have a genuine south western foie gras to pair with ;-) — 6 years ago
Viscous texture that revels in its sweetness, deep burnished gold colour, this is decadent and delicious. An abundance of ripe tropical fruit - mango, pineapple, peach. Sourced from vintages online shop for $55 or so a while back — 7 years ago

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. — 5 years ago
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.

Late harvest chenin blanc. Reminds me of a Tokaij, but less cloying. Elegant wine that matches well with a sweet dessert. — 7 years ago
Simply top notch Chenin. — 8 years ago

Bold with honeyed apricot, but not heavy like sauternes. It is amazing with rich foods, such as foie gras — 4 years ago
