One of the most beautiful expressions of Savennières, the Clos du papillon is part of the gotha of the best white wines in the world.
It presents itself on a beautiful austere restraint on the nose as in the mouth. The feeling of hot grapes animates this tight wine.
Very nice wine of gastronomy!

Clos du Papillon 2018

Savennières AOC

France - Anjou

Ecocert

Here you have one of the most beautiful expressions of Savennières, the Clos du papillon is part of the gotha of the best white wines in the world.

The Clos du Papillon is a small valley located halfway down, wonderfully exposed to the light of the Loire: there are shale, rhyolites but also quartz. The arable soil layer is very thin (60 cm) which allows excellent drainage of stormwater. The conditions of development of the vines are difficult, forcing it to dive its roots deep to draw nutrients. This allows to obtain a very advanced level of ripeness of the berries, with grapes that concentrate in aromas under the action of Botrytis.
The Clos du papillon is harvested in two sorts: a first part on fresh fruit and a second sort later, slightly botrytized with aromas of cooked fruit, quince, smoked. These two tris are aged in barrels, assembled after 16 months. The wine then stays in the vat for a few months.

Grapes:

100% Chenin (on argilo-greso-schist with magmatic stones).

Tasting notes:

This great Savennières plunges us into the heart of the earth. one wine where the varietal expression of the chenin gives way to that of the terroir of shale, rhyolites and quartz. He introduces himself on a beautiful austere restraint on the nose as in the mouth. The feeling of hot grapes animates this tight wine. Incredibly powerful in this solar vintage, both greasy and bitter, it is built on a prominent tannic structure.
Very nice wine of gastronomy!

Wine style:

Complex and mineral white wine.

Food and wine pairing :

Decline of sashimi around Loire fish. Scallops in hazelnut crust, parsnip muslin and white butter.

The other vintages of:

Domaine du Closel

The Savennières Call is a Grand Cru of the Loire Valley, located 15 km southwest of Angers. It is a small-area appellation: 156 hectares and 36 winemakers. Much appreciated by sommeliers, traders, importers and winemakers, and passionate amateurs, it is still confidential and produces a rare wine (very low yields): 4000hl/year.
It lies on three shale hillsides located on the right bank of the Loire in front of the Layon. It is certainly the most fascinating terroir in the Loire Valley.

The vineyards of the Château des Vaults (Domaine du Closel) are located on hillsides perpendicular to the Loire, enjoying an exceptional south-west exposure. The nature of the soil is extremely complex and thus perfect for producing great wines. These soils are shallow, very warm and consist of purple and green shale as well as purple sandstone and volcanic rocks (quartz, phtanites, and organic matter).

The decree of the AOC Savennières sets very strict standards with regard to the cultivation and practices of winemaking. Chenin is the only authorized grape variety, the manual harvest is done carefully by tries for very low yields.

Évelyne de Pontbriand spares no effort to enhance her Angelin estate, which maintains, above the Loire, one of the most beautiful heritages of Savennières vineyards.

The range is available by terroir, which results in a more nuanced expression of the wines of the vintage, served by a biodynamic approach. The La Jalousie cuvée is fine, to drink young, while the most mineral Les Caillardières evolves well over five to six years. Depending on the richness of the vintage, Clos du Papillon can store residual sugars.
Classically crafted, the wines gain in finesse and purity in the latest vintages; they age gracefully. The vintages differ because of the climate, adding further diversity and making each wine a unique work, a new balance, secret of beauty and taste.

The estate has been certified in biodynamics since 2015.
