Domaine des Baumard Carte Turquoise
A crisp and refreshing white sparkling wine with vibrant apple, peach, and biscuity notes
Domaine des Baumard Cremant de Loire, Carte Turquoise from Loire, France, is a vibrant White Sparkling wine, crafted dry from a blend of Cabernet Franc, Chenin Blanc, and Chardonnay. Hand-harvested fruit undergoes initial fermentation in temperature-controlled tanks, followed by a secondary fermentation in bottle and over a year of lees ageing. This vegetarian-friendly wine presents minerally aromas with notes of crisp apple and ripe peach. The palate is refreshing with lemon, apple, and pink grapefruit, an elegant mousse, and a long, dry finish featuring attractive biscuity notes. It makes an excellent aperitif and pairs wonderfully with goats cheese.
