"The 2022 Anjou Blanc Pic Martin is a new cuvée from the two sons of the proprietor of Domaine des Baumard: Charles and Maxime Baumard. It hails from a four-acre plot just outside their home village of Rochefort-sur-Loire, depicting the village's church on the label. The Pic Martin is a dry Chenin Blanc that's clean, fresh and mouthwatering. Subtle in the aromatic department, it displays hints of fresh apple, joined by an almond-pastry-like character on the medium-length finish. It’s nicely balanced with fine grip on the finish. This will be ready to enjoy from release." -Rebecca Gibb MW

"This wine straddles the fence between being fresh and yeasty. Beautiful, concentrated aromas of freshly-toasted brioche, caramel, honey-glazed baked apple and bread dough open on the nose. The wine is more reserved on the palate than the nose with a texture that is partially mineral-driven." -Reggie Solomon
