Reviews of 2005 Domaine des Baumard Quarts de Chaume Chenin Blanc
92 points, Robert Parker, Wine Advocate
January 2007
Given a hard act to follow in the 2004, Baumard's 2005 Quarts de Chaume displays the most obviously botrytized, white raisin, and shriveled fruit character of any of their recent wines that I tasted. Over-ripe melon and pear, candied grapefruit, marzipan and raisin are accented by brown spices and herbal candy notes. Impressively lush and long, this should evolve interestingly over up to two decades, but will doubtless remain relatively plump and baroque in character.
98 points, Wine Spectator
May 2007
A jaw dropper, with orange blossom, persimmon, fig and quince flavors that remain remarkably bright and light thanks to riveting acidity and a superfine, minerally finish. Pure and perfectly balanced, this refuses to break down in the mouth. The best since the monster 1995. Drink now through 2032. 1,200 cases made. –JM
About 2005 Domaine des Baumard Quarts de Chaume Chenin Blanc
About the Winery Domaine des Baumard
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 this
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 gravelled 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,
which features a superb 18th Century wall painting, partly preserved,
demonstrating the blue hues typical in old works from this era as other, richer
colours fade with time.
