A round and supple style with mouthcoating tannins. There are savoury hints of bottle-age starting to emerge as lime and almond characters. Ripe phenolics on the finish coat the cheeks with a fine texture.
Rated 92/100 Decanter Magazine
The 2013 Savennieres Clos du Papillon has turned out elegantly, evoking aromas of sage, spring flowers, ripe orchard fruits, nutmeg and exotic fruits. Medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, it’s seamless with a delicate core of fruit and a rich and creamy texture. It concludes with a long, penetrating finish combined with buttery, nutmeg aromas. Bottled with a screw-cap closure.
Rated 90/100 The Wine Advocate
"Savennières produces some of the most compelling dry white wines in the world, the Clos du Papillon plot within Savennières , so named for its butterfly shape, concentrates and magnifies all the characteristics of this small, distinct appellation. Baumard is the largest owner of this vineyard, with the best holdings, and the wines display a captivating combination of ripe orchard fruit, floral, and mineral notes, within a structure able to age decades." -- importer
