Savennières Clos du Papillon - Domaine du Closel

The Savennières Clos du Papillon is an extremely refined white wine, produced in a small and prestigious area of the Loire Valley in France. This wine is primarily made from Chenin Blanc grapes, known for its ability to beautifully reflect the terroir and its longevity. The name "Clos du Papillon" refers to the shape of the vineyard, reminiscent of a butterfly's wings.

The uniqueness of this wine lies in its complex layering of aromas and flavors. On the nose, it offers a rich bouquet of floral notes, with hints of chamomile and white flowers, followed by touches of honey, candied fruit, and a slight minerality reminiscent of flint. On the palate, the Savennières Clos du Papillon showcases a magnificent structure and a lively freshness, balanced by a seductive texture and a long, persistent finish.

This wine is ideal for pairing with rich and aromatic dishes, such as shellfish in creamy sauce or roasted poultry. It is also excellent as a contemplative wine, allowing tasters to appreciate its evolution in the glass. With an aging potential that easily exceeds 10 years, the Savennières Clos du Papillon can also be a great candidate for any collector's cellar.
