The vines for this cuve are located between Clos du Papillon and the Roche aux Moines slope of Savennires. Shows pristine purity and great depth of fruit.
‘The vines of this clos a Baumard monopole sit behind Chteau de Varennes, on a hill of purple and brown schist between the Clos du Papillon and the Roche-aux-Moines. The fruit was pressed and the juice vinified in stainless steel. It has a nose of white almond and white flowers, with a very taut apple base. The palate follows in the same vein, with gently expressed orchard fruits, set in a controlled and modestly textured substance, with a firmly defined frame and fresh acidity. It has a good grip, the structure and poise suggesting to me this will age well, probably for a decade or two. The alcohol on the label is 13%.
