Notes : Robert Parker 89-90+/100, Bettane & Desseauve 15/20, Gault Millau 15/20
"Dry apricot on the nose, with a smooth entry on the palate, this is a wine full of greed." (Le Guide Bettane & Desseauve des Vins de France 2012). A very floral and delicate Savennières on the nose, with hints of chamomile. The texture is round and unctuous, harmonious and well-balanced. A wine for pleasure!

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. "

A very pleasant Chenin, but not really a Savennières.
