“Jean Baumard and Florent, his son, oversee 110 acres of vineyards in Anjou, including these in the clos du Papillon, a south-and-south-east facing hillside overlooking the Loire. This wine layers savory button mushroom notes over a smoky meatiness. Its deep yellow flavors of pineapple energize the wine with freshness, a concentrated Savennières to serve with a selection of cheeses before or after dinner." 

James Suckling, 92 Points 

“Intriguing aromas of dragon fruit, sliced almond, lemon leaf, lime and lemongrass. Medium-bodied with nice structured tannins. Some real charm here with notes of chamomile and sage. Really clean, fresh and clear."
