Notes : Robert Parker 92/100, Gault Millau 16/20
"Superb aromatics with sweet notes of mirabelle plum and nectarine. The satin-smooth palate, with aromas of gentian, calls us to order, dry, elegant and finely spiced. The candied ginger finish awakens the taste buds". (Les Meilleurs Vins de France 2012 - Gault Millau)

Food and wine pairing
Ce vin ne s’impose pas par lui-même mais en servant la cuisine qu’il accompagne. Une large capacité d’accompagnement à table du fait de ses saveurs équilibrées : hors d’œuvres, huîtres plates, crustacés, poissons grillés ou en sauce, veau en sauce...<br/>

Expert opinion
Guide des Vins Gault & Millau
Estate rated (2012 guide) 5*Stars (Outstanding production)
About the domain :
"The Baumard family established itself 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 keen understanding of the identity of each of his terroirs, Florent Baumard offers an astonishing range of wines. "
