Domaine du Closel Savennieres Clos du Papillon – 2005

CHF 49.50 CHF 39.50

Domaine du Closel is situated in the sleepy little village of Savennières, one of the most famous villages for producing Chenin Blanc in the world!  They have a beautiful chateau with several acres of parkland and many centuries-old trees, making it a wonderful place to visit, not only for wine lovers.

This 18 year old dry white wine comes from the domaine’s best vineyard, “Clos du Papillon”, which is a magical plot of vines averaging 50 years old grown on a mix of clay, sand, schist and volcanic rock.

2005 was a very fine vintage across the Loire, producing low yields (30hl/ha for this vineyard) of exceptional quality fruit. The grapes were organically cultivated, hand-picked then naturally fermented using native yeasts from the vineyard. After a long (three month) fermentation, the wine then spent a further year maturing on its lees in large old French oak casks. It has been aged in bottle in  the winery’s cool underground cellars until now.

This 100% Chenin Blanc has a wide array of honey, beeswax and nutty flavours and is balanced by perfectly fresh acidity. It has good structure, intensity and a long nutty length and is an excellent example of aged Chenin Blanc. This would be perfect served alongside fine fish dishes, lobster or scallops.

1375 cases were produced.
