  Lovely Chenin richness and finesse in this butterfly. Baumards Papillon in the 2011 vintage bursts of spicy yellow fruits like nectarine, apricot, apple and grapefruit. Telltale aromas of lanolin, honey, beezwax, honey, safforon and hints of flint. Rich and spicy yellow stonefruit, strong minerality and balanced acidity on the palate. Complex and powerful, with a long, balanced, mineral driven finish. Elegant power-Chenin, this one.

  On est loin du superbe 2009 ici.
  Plutôt muet et mince même à la limite.
  Déception cette bouteille!

  Bon sans plus. Ne vaut pas son prix. On est loin du château Yvonne pour du bon chenin.

  Too much reduction on opening but otherwise excellent. For me, let it breathe for a couple hrs.
