'There is some evolution on the nose here, with blanched almond, and also a little desiccation to the fruit character. It shows a yellow peach-skin character. The palate feels quite supple, open and textured, with a cool fruit character wrapped within the exture though, with bitter citrus and orchard fruits, a little toasted nut too which adds a very interesting twist to it. Polished, with vigour, and plenty of character. A good result in this vintage.' 17/20 points, Dr Chris Kissack, The Wine Doctor, February 2015.
'Florent Baumard is one of the world’s best winemakers, and you probably don’t know him. That’s because he produces Chenin Blanc from the Loire Valley, an all-too-often overlooked region. Baumard produces a range of dry and sweet wines, topped by his Quarts de Chaume. And perhaps the best part of Baumard’s new wines is that they are now all under screw cap. Bravo to Florent Baumard for making this decision based on quality, not marketing.' James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, March 2007
