Domaine Baumard, situated in Rochefort-sur-Loire, southwest of Angers, is a prominent and highly regarded wine producer in the Loire Valley. The estate has gained recognition for crafting exceptional Chenin Blanc wines from appellations such as Savennières, Coteaux du Layon, and Quarts de Chaume. Their ‘Peacock’ (Paon) cuvée is an exquisitely expressive wine, boasting intense sweetness that verges on syrup-like. However, this sweetness finds harmony with the presence of pear, apricot, and citrus notes, complemented by a dry layer of botrytis, resulting in a wine that delivers a crisp and fresh aftertaste.
92 Vinous
Vivid gold. Exotically perfumed bouquet displays orange marmalade, apricot, mango, peach, brown butter, honey and baking spices. Lush, creamy pit and tropical fruit flavors show impressive depth and considerable sweetness, but subtle minerality adds back-end lift and cut. The finish doesn't let up, strongly repeating the honey and tropical fruit notes along with a hint of honeydew. This is sweet enough to serve with rich desserts or strong cheeses but I don't find it cloying. Very seductive already but balanced to age for at least another decade.Josh Raynolds1st May 2010
