Domaine des Baumard Description
Baumard’s 2016 Papillon is a structured wine whose great acidity and density suggests it will age and improve 20-30 years.
Wine & Spirits Magazine: 93 Points
The Baumards own the eastern “wing” of the Clos du Papillon, a vineyard named for its butterfly shape planted on a south- and southeast-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 creamy wild mushroom stew.
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. Drink now. Screw cap.
