"Yellow fruit and citrus on the nose, fresh and well-proportioned on the palate". (Le Guide Bettane & Desseauve des Vins de France 2012). A lovely white with nuances of acacia honey, yellow fruit and citrus. Opulent and precise on the palate, concentrated and refined, in a rather feminine style. Enjoy it now!

Expert opinion
Guide des Vins Gault & Millau
Estate rated (2012 guide) 5*Stars (Outstanding production)
About the domain :
"The Baumard family established themselves at Logis de la Giraudière in 1959. Florent Baumard joined his father, Jean, in 1987 and now runs the estate. Here, we alternate between working the soil and planting grass (one row in two), in order to preserve the microbiological fauna and its humus potential, and avoid settling. Thanks to a perfect mastery of winemaking and a fine understanding of the identity of each of his terroirs, Florent Baumard offers an astonishing range of wines. "
