It is in Rochefort sur Loire in the heart of the Loire Valley, 20 kilometres south-west of Angers, is where the Domaine des Baumard is located, in the Logis de la Giraudière, a gentleman's residence dating from the late 18th century. Florent Baumard oversees the destiny of 40 hectares of vineyards on both banks of the Loire. Discreet and epicurean at heart, he combines the rigour and technical training passed on by his father with the search for the expression of the grape variety in the Loire terroir. A natural charm that can be found in his straight and flattering wines. Respectful of the environment and people, the Domaine des Baumard has been practising sustainable viticulture since the end of the 1950s.
