Savennières Clos du Papillon 2020

- 95 points -

The 2020 Clos du Papillon is shy aromatically, offering up restrained characters of white stone fruit, almond meal and an intriguing whiff of smokiness. It is a textured Savennières, initially caressing the mouth with its silken texture before showing its true colors: this is a powerful style with drive. Its tension, austere acidity and phenolic grain reflect its poor, volcanic soils.
