Its schist and sandstone soils are thin and free-draining, the exposure is southerly and the river moderates the nights, a combination that ripens Chenin Blanc fully while keeping its acidity intact. Baumard, based at Rochefort-sur-Loire, have farmed here for generations and treat the wine with characteristic restraint: whole-bunch pressing, slow cool fermentation, ageing without new oak and careful protection from oxygen. The stelvin-luxe closure is a deliberate choice by the domaine, taken to hold these wines steady over long ageing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA benchmark dry Savennières that rewards years in the cellar; decant and serve with lobster, roast veal or aged Comté at around 12 degrees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Every effort is made to ensure the current vintage is accurate; however, variations can occur.
