Savannières Clos du Papillon

 It opens with bright citrus notes—lemon zest and grapefruit—then deepens into ripe quince, baked apple, and hints of mango and cantaloupe. The palate is textured and creamy, balanced by brisk acidity and a mineral backbone drawn from the vineyard’s schist and quartz-rich soils. Subtle oak aging adds toasted almond, beeswax, and a faint bitter edge that enhances complexity. A touch of botrytis lends richness, while the finish is long, tense, and gastronomic, making it ideal for pairing with lobster, scallops, veal, or aged cheeses.
