Description

2021 Domaine du Closel Savennieres Clos du Papillon [WS94]Producer: Domaine du Closel Region: Savennieres, Loire, France Varietal: Chenin Blanc Year: 2021 Wine Spectator, 94 Points "Rich and opulent, with plenty of savory power and saltiness to maintain expert balance, this is a blockbuster of a Chenin. Honey cream and warm hay notes wrap around baked apple, Asian pear and quince, all set against bitter white tea tannins and crushed flint. Fleur de seldusted almond and ground ginger details chime in through

a year unusually high in Garnacha and unusually low in Cariñena that suffered a lot from the heat

With a wild soul of mountain herbs

Wonderful red-berry character

Aged for 14 months in American oak barrels

The dense entry is followed by a sweet and juicy mouth feel

and orchard fruit (pear)

showing plenty of ability to age

juicy acidity and lots of spices coming through on the long finish

resulting in a finished product that is balanced and robust

earthy mushroom takes a stand with a hint of sassafras and white pepper

Disgorged: November

It is an outstanding wine expressive of its more northern terroir to drink over the coming 15 years
