Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, January 2007

From a sandy site near Rochefort and showing every sign of rigorous botrytis selection, the Baumard 2004 Coteaux du Layon Clos de Sainte Catherine displays a gorgeous bouquet of gardenia, quince jelly, orange, and pineapple. Succulent and rich yet wafting and dynamic in its palate interchange of mineral, floral, zesty and pungently herbal, and richly fruited elements, this finishes with a levitating, (magic-)carpet-like impression of quince, candied orange rind, quinine, flowers and minerals. Here is the satisfaction of a caper perfectly executed by a fine dusting of botrytis, but where you'll dust in vain afterward to pick up any finger prints! You can feel confident enjoying this anytime over the next 15 years.

Great purity and drive, with clean-cut quince, fig and mineral notes that run from the start through the lengthy, fresh finish. Beautiful. Drink now through 2012. 580 cases made. –JM

About Winery

Domaine des Baumard is tucked away in the village of Rochefort-sur-Loire, which lies at the northern end of the Coteaux du Layon appellation, just a little way north of Quarts de Chaume. It's not too difficult to find, situated on the rue Saint Croix, just to the left of the huge church which dominates the village; the dull grey lettering adherent to the stone wall, next to the large gateway, informing you of your arrival. Beyond the gateway, and along the immaculately graveled drive, you find the old Logis de la Giraudiere, acquired by the family in 1959. Here you will find the extensive cellars and a fine tasting room.
