Domaine des Baumard - Cremant Le Brut Rose NV
Estate
The Cremant de Loire appellation covers the region formerly known as Anjou and Touraine provinces.All of Baumard's sparkling wines are Cremant de Loire and thus subject to stricter regulations than your run-of-the-mill mousseux. Made entirely from Cabernet Franc, the Brut Rose was first released in 2003 and is no-table for spending at least three yearson its lees following secondary fermentation.
Tasting notes
Beautiful pink, the Brut Rose is lively and pleasant with current. ginger and rose petal aromas. The Cabernet Franc grape shows its character in a very elegant way, and the wine is packed with delicious fresh strawberry and red currant Flavors.
Vineyard
In the vineyard, rows are alternately ploughed and grassed. This helps to maintain the soil's microscopic fauna and humus potential and avoids soil-compression from the use of heavy machinery, such as tractors, in the vineyard.
Vinification
High training wires (over two meters) maximise leaf surface area and avoid the need for topping during the vegetative time. The grapes are hand harvested and placed in pneumatic press. Only first press wine is used. Refermentation is done in the bottle,and the wine is then aged on lees for three years.
