2010 Savennières Clos du Papillon, Domaine du Closel

2010 Savennières Clos du Papillon, Domaine du Closel

Quince, apricot, lemon oil and salty minerals create a marvellous scent that is full of tension and expectation. Gentle and elegant oak provide creamy undertones that sit beautifully alongside the fresh, vibrant fruit. In the mouth, this is strikingly clean and juicy, with mouth-watering salinity. Wet stone, iodine, kernel and grapefruit pith vie alongside one another where the backbone of acidity is simply breathtaking. This is an incredibly concentrated, intensely structured Savennières from the superlative 2010 vintage. Chenin Blanc is a variety that is often overlooked – but for those in the know, there can hardly be a better, more age-worthy white wine.
