Domaine des Baumard’s masterful dry white wines span an unusual range of concentration and longevity. Universally regarded as the finest winemakers in the appellation, Jean Baumard and his son, Florent, treat this grand cru-tier site with relentless reverence. By blocking malolactic fermentation and aging the wine entirely oak-free on its fine lees in stainless steel, they act as true stewards of this specific terroir. The resulting wine is a pure time capsule, proving that old-vine Chenin Blanc from Savennières belongs in the same immortal conversation as elite German Riesling.
