Critical Acclaim
All VintagesWaves of creamed Jonagold apple, Cavaillon melon, mirabelle
plum, mango and white peach flavors provide thrilling range, while
flashes of honeysuckle and verbena add detail and focus throughout.
Unctuous yet pure, sweet yet invigorating, with an inner
brightness that matches the outward hedonism. Best from 2020
through 2045.






The Baumard family has been wine growing wine at Rochefort in the Anjou for centuries, working with the noble Chenin in what has long been accepted as its natural home, the slate-covered hillside vineyards along the Loire and Layton rivers. In 1953, the Baumard family acquired a vineyard in the Quarts de Chaume, and in 1968, purchased substantial acreage in Savennieres. Jean Baumard, an enologist and educator, as well as grower, introduced significant innovations to the winemaking region, bringing the dry wines of Savennieres, as well as his sweet wines, Quarts de Chaumes and Coteaux du Layon back to prominence. Now in retirement, further innovation has been carried on by Jean's son, Florent.
