Domaine des Baumard Crémant de Loire Carte Turquoise
Crémant de Loire
First produced in 1957, Baumard’s Crémant Carte Turquoise is a beautiful, hand-crafted example of this appellation, which now covers both the Anjou and Touraine AOCs. The grapes are sourced from the estate as well as from a few selected growers, with the average vineyard age of 35 years. Baumard produces this Crémant using the classic méthode Champenoise, with a minimum of 24 months en tirage, resulting in a wine with an exceptionally fine mousse, and complex aromas and flavors of apples, pears, almonds and honey. The palate is fresh and appetizing, reflecting the low dosage of 5-6 grams – essentially an Extra Brut.

Domaine des Baumard has been planted with vines since 1634, and has remained in the same family since then. In the mid-20th century, however, is when the estate started to build a reputation as one of the greatest white wine producers in the Loire Valley, and the world.
