Description

Baumard is located in the heart of the Anjou, in the town of Rochefort-sur-Loire, just south of Savennières. The domain has been family property since 1634. Where Jean Baumard developed it in the fifties, his son Florent has ensured that it is today considered one of the best wine producers in the Loire Valley. Florent is seen by many leading wine magazines as the only one of its kind. He makes several cuvées from Savennières, the large dry chenin blanc, in addition to very beautiful Coteaux de Layon. The domain works organically, without certification. Florent Baumard believes that human intervention in both vineyard and wine cellar should remain possible. His Quarts de Chaume is a real icon in the international wine world; this vineyard has recently been elevated to grand cru status!
