Domaine des Baumard Quarts de Chaume 2016 Grand Cru

Short Description

It has unique terroir and location. Its wines are of rare breed and elegance, with a remarkable texture that combines power and clarity, richness and precision. Floral bouquets, citrus and orchard fruit notes are mixed.

The rue de l'Abbaye in Rochefort sur Loire leads you straight to the 18th century manor house of the Baumards, their refuge which sheltered and still today shelters successive generations since 1634.

The Baumard vineyard has been selected by the international magazine Wine and Spirits as one of the 100 best wine estates in the world.

Among the magnificent wines produced by this estate, Premiers Grands Crus, faithful to its charter, has retained only a quarter of thatch because it is the only one of all their wines to be entitled to the Grand Cru appellation.

All the harvest is manual by successive sorting in the vineyard.

It is a sweet wine very close to the structure of Sauternes on the palate. The nose is powerful with touches of quince, pear and acacia honey. The palate is full-bodied, round with an exquisite fine hint of minerality.
