“As always this is a selection from Clos Ste Yves. It is based on richer fruit, which includes a little pourri plein botrytised grapes. The nose has immediate impact, with some lightly mineral, yellow-gold orchard fruits, with a little apricot character. The palate is cool, yet textured, with an appealing supple weight and a deeper flavour character, certainly richer in fruit character but still with a match-sticky freshness to it. Polished, quite appealing, direct, with a full and lightly bitter edge to it, this is a wine full of interest and substance. Clearly a favourable vintage, and I like this style, and the extra touch of richness it brings to the typical Baumard structure. A long and imposing finish. Very good indeed. 17.5/20” thewinedoctor.com February 2015
“For a more texture, approachable style, look to the Trie Speciale, which is much more seductive throughout its life, a characteristic achieved purely by a different level of fruit ripeness at picking.” thewinedoctor.com
'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
