Wine of the Week Profile 12/17/07
2005 Domaine des Baumard
“Clos de Sainte Catherine”
Coteaux de Layon Moelleux


2005 Domaine des Baumard Clos de Sainte Catherine Moelleux Coteaux de Layon Chenin Blanc’05 Domaine des Baumard “Clos de Sainte Catherine” Coteaux de Layon Moelleux $40.99
Domaine des Baumard is one of the best producers in the Loire Valley. They are well known for their exquisite Savennières and for their truly breathtaking sweet wines from Coteaux de Layon—especially in a vintage as great as ’05. The Baumard estate is nestled in the heart of Rochefort-sur-Loire, a small, enchanting village on the southern bank of the Loire River, where the Baumard family has produced wine since 1634.

“Sainte Catherine” has a lovely light straw color with shimmering gold highlights in the glass. Silky layers of peach, creamy nougat, pineapple and honeyed pears sprinkled with minerality harmoniously coexist on the nose. The palate dazzles with an abundance of sweet peach, quince, juicy melon, fig paste and layer upon layer of minerality. This wine offers up vibrant acidity, adding lift to a dynamic textural backdrop. Serve by itself as an aperitif or with fresh or poached pears or peaches, rillets, foie gras, blue cheeses like Roquefort and Gorgonzola or with crème brûlée.

—Donald

“Rich and ripe, with glazed fruit, apple tartine and fig paste notes backed by a rich texture and a long, creamy finish, where the lingering fig and green almond notes keep pulling you back. Combines power and precision. Drink now through 2027. 600 cases made.” —WS 96
