Domaine de Baumard Savennières Clos St YvesV

Wine Notes

One of the Loire’s most lauded producers, Florent Baumard has courted controversy by pursuing his own ideas and challenging the status quo.

In a deeply traditional region, Florent’s early adoption of screwcaps and different vine trellising systems marked him out as the enfant terrible of Savennières. His Savennières from the famous vineyards of Clos St Yves is rich, yet with a balance and elegance that is unrivalled.

Matured for 9 months in stainless steel on its fine lees. Purity of fruit is the aim and even oak is deemed unnecessary in this quest. Intense aromas of green apple, honey, apricot and white flowers with a hint of gun smoke. The Chenin fruit on the palate is clean and bright and combined with the minerality its just perfect. Ripe fruit yet zesty acidity ensuring that there will life in this bottle for many years to come. This delicious wine is great partner for grilled fish, seafood, salads or slightly spicy dishes.
