2012 Quarts De Chaume, Baumard, Half Bottle

Chenin Blanc

We have a soft spot for the incredible Chenin Blancs from Baumard and gems such as this truly spectacular wine highlight the quality of winemaking at this Domaine.  Baumard eschew traditional trellising methods for this part of the Loire and have also flown in the face of tradition by switching excluisively to screwcaps for their range.  The Quarts de Chaume vineyard enjoys a superb terroir and a unique situation producing wines of rare elegance.  This remarkable wine is wonderfuly textured and manages to comine power and clarity alongside richness and precision. Complex with floral bouquets and notes of citrus and orchard fruit with impeccable acidity, this is a wine to savour.

Blended

The Blandy's 5 year old Rich Reserva is a Decanter Magazine Gold Medal winning Madeira from one of the islands finest producers.  Made with a 50/50 blend of Malmsey and Bual this is a sweet, rich and silky smooth fortified wine with excellent balanced acidity keeping the wine fresh and lively.  This is a Madeira for immediate enjoyment and shows the typical dried fruits, toffee and spice one would expect.  Delicious on its own as an after dinner drink, or with rich chocolate puddings and cheese.
