Baumard Coteaux du Layon half

Baumard Coteaux du Layon Carte D'or 375ml

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, his early adoption of screwcaps and different vine trellising systems marked him out as the enfant terrible of Savennières. His mantra now encompasses a belief in the individuality of each vintage, believing it should be made with minimal intervention to allow the wine to reflect its vintage and unique character.

Wine Advocate: “Persimmon, kumquat rind, and quinine bitterness (and their aromatic precursors) mingle with quince preserves. It will certainly make for an impressively-concentrated and highly affordable dessert wine”

Region: Loire Valley, France
