Domaine des Baumard 2006 Tirage Sparkling (Crémant de Loire)
- Online Exclusive
A deliciously crisp wine, its fruit packed with citrus and lemon peel, a style that is as fresh as possible. As well as its soft, creamy mousse, this wine has depth of flavor and potential aging ability.

Domaine des Baumard 2007 Clos de Saint-Yves Chenin Blanc (Savennières)
- Online Exclusive
A finely crafted wine, its tight acidity generating a very fresh profile. There is an intensity of fruit as well as a mineral texture. For aging. Screwcap.

Domaine des Baumard 2004 Chenin Blanc (Savennières)
- $22
A beautifully crisp wine, fresh and leaping with green fruits. This wine is characterized by its steely core and great acidity, with green plum skins and a structure that promises a long, slow development.

Domaine des Baumard NV Carte Turqoise Chenin Blanc (Crémant de Loire)
- $20
As always, this is an elegant Loire sparkler. The Chenin Blanc’s acidity comes to the fore here, giving a great lift to the melon, almond and nutmeg flavors. There’s a crisp apple skin texture to this wine that is certainly best with food.

Domaine des Baumard 2002 Tirage Brut Chenin Blanc-Chardonnay (Crémant de Loire)
- $20
Mainly made of Chardonnay, with just a touch of Chenin Blanc, this is a big, fat rich wine that also has great poise. Tastes of apples and rich cream, with a layer of toast and light acidity to finish. Imported by Ex-Cellars Wine Agencies, Inc.

Domaine des Baumard 2003 Chenin Blanc (Savennières)
- $22
Maybe this lacks the stylistic minerality of Savennières because of the hot vintage, but it replaces that with richness, creamy opulence and developing flavors of vanilla and almonds, leaving the acidity bringing up the final taste. Screwcap.

Domaine des Baumard NV Turquoise Sparkling (Crémant de Loire)
- Online Exclusive
- $18
A blend of Chenin Blanc and Cab Franc, this literally bubbles with liveliness and freshness. Rich, but the roundness is held in check by acidity and a touch of tannin. It finishes with elegance and a zest of lemon.
