Ratings: Robert Parker 92/100, Gault Millau 16/20
“Superb aromatics with sweet notes of mirabelle plum and nectarine. The silky palate, with hints of gentian, brings us back to reality—dry, elegant, and subtly spiced. The finish, featuring candied ginger, awakens the taste buds. ” (Les Meilleurs Vins de France 2012 – Gault Millau)

Food and Wine Pairings
Ce vin ne s’impose pas par lui-même mais en servant la cuisine qu’il accompagne. Une large capacité d’accompagnement à table du fait de ses saveurs équilibrées : hors d’œuvres, huîtres plates, crustacés, poissons grillés ou en sauce, veau en sauce...<br/>
Guide des Vins Gault & Millau
Rated estate (2012 guide): 5* Stars (Outstanding production)
About the estate:
"The Baumard family settled at the Logis de la Giraudière in 1959. Florent Baumard joined his father, Jean, in 1987 and now manages the estate. Here, they alternate between tilling the soil and leaving grass cover (every other row) to preserve the microbial life and humus potential of the soil and prevent compaction. Thanks to his mastery of winemaking and a deep understanding of the identity of each of his terroirs, Florent Baumard offers an astonishing range of wines.”
