Tasting Notes
Florent Baumard grows this chenin on 15 acres of shale and sand over sandstone. The flavors touch on cool apple notes and soil-driven earthiness, but the wine is mostly about texture, luscious and deep, integrating some residual sugar so that it feels round but tastes savory. A pleasure to drink now, this will age well over the next five years. Score - 90. (Tasting panel, wineandspiritsmagazine.com, April 2016)
