Domaine Baumard

Domaine Baumard is located in Rochefort sur Loire. This family estate dates back to 1634, and Florent Baumard, the current manager, took over the reins in 1987.

Respectful of the environment and people, Domaine Baumard has been practicing sustainable viticulture for over 50 years: alternating tillage and grassing, high and wide vines (VHL), respect for natural balance and prophylaxis. The VHL method allows a "large exposed leaf surface" for better grape ripening, improves soil structure and restores superior biological and agronomic potential, with the ultimate aim of maintaining the terroir. The Domaine Baumard grapes are harvested by hand in shallow crates. Savennières, Coteaux du Layon and Quarts de Chaume grapes are sorted successively. The bunches are then transported in suspended trailers to preserve the physical qualities of the grapes.

Florent Baumard combines the expression of terroir with the technical mastery handed down from his father, resulting in an explosion of aromas and a highly homogeneous range of wines.
