Domaine des Baumard Loire Valley, France.
"Florent Baumard is one of the world’s best winemakers, and you probably don’t know him. That’s because he produces Chenin Blanc from the Loire Valley, an all-too-often overlooked region. Baumard produces a range of dry and sweet wines, topped by his Quarts de Chaume. And perhaps the best part of Baumard’s new wines is that they are now all under screw cap. Bravo to Florent Baumard for making this decision based on quality, not marketing.”

NV Cremant de Loire "Carte Turquoise”
40% Cabernet Franc, 30% Chenin blanc 30% Chardonnay. Low dosage (4-5 g/L) ensures a fine crisp aperitif style with finesse.
”This non-vintage blend is based on fruit from 2022, and it is a blend of Chenin, Chardonnay and Cabernet Franc. A really charming nose here, fresh and bright. The palate is finely poised, with a very fine mousse, and good acidity considering the base vintage. This is a charming and nicely structured Crémant, with a welcome touch of bitterness in the finish. The alcohol on the label is 12.5%.”
