What it tastes like.

A standout Loire sweet wine from a stellar vintage, this Quarts de Chaume showcases the region's finest qualities.

With 157 g/l residual sugar, it delivers remarkable concentration and complexity. Bottled exclusively in 500ml by producer Florent, this wine captivates with vibrant yellow and white peach aromatics, layered with jasmine, lemon peel and white freesia notes.

The palate strikes an elegant balanceβ€”silky and refined yet underpinned by phenolic structure and bright acidity. Creamy and velvety in texture, it maintains impressive freshness and definition throughout. Floral white fruit characters shine with pristine clarity, while the wine's density and length suggest excellent cellaring potential.

Β This is a wine built to evolve gracefully over decades in proper storage. At 12% alcohol, it's beautifully proportioned and supremely food-friendly.

Bottle questions

Before you open it.

A few practical answers for storage, delivery, and choosing the right bottle.

How should I store it before opening?

Keep it somewhere cool, dark, and steady. Wine prefers cellar temperature; spirits are happier away from heat and direct sunlight.

How long will it keep once opened?

Wine changes quickly after opening; spirits and liqueurs generally hold longer if capped tightly and kept out of heat. If it is a special bottle, ask before opening and the team can give product-specific guidance.

Can I ask for a similar bottle?

Yes. Contact Caravan with this bottle name and the occasion; the team can suggest a close match, a safer gift, or a step up or down in price.

How is it packed for delivery?

Orders are packed in bottle-safe cartons. If anything arrives damaged or looks wrong, contact the team with your order number and a photo so they can sort the next step.

What about hot weather shipping?

The team avoids making one-size-fits-all promises around heat and carrier timing. For heat-sensitive or cellar bottles, contact Caravan before ordering and they can advise the safest dispatch window.

Why Caravan backs Domaine des Baumard

Loire Β· Anjou

The Baumard family has lived at Rochefort-sur-Loire and grown vines there since 1634. The domaine in its present form dates from 1955, and is run today by Florent Baumard, joined by his son Charles since 2021.

Forty hectares are farmed around Rochefort-sur-Loire across four appellations: Savennières, including the Clos de Saint-Yves and the celebrated Clos du Papillon; Quarts de Chaume; Coteaux du Layon, including Clos Sainte Catherine; and Crémant de Loire. Vines are planted at 5,000 to the hectare and the vineyards have been certified organic since 2024.

The Baumard style is deliberately particular, and it comes down to what is left out. Dry whites are fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged nine to twelve months on fine lees in stainless steel, with no oak at any point and no malolactic fermentation. That avoidance of the softening influences other growers use gives Savennières that is firm, austere and bone dry, built to express site after a few years in bottle rather than to charm early. Every wine has been bottled under screw cap since 2003, a decision taken for the sake of the wine rather than the label. The Quarts de Chaume sits at the top of the range.
