2020 Domaine du Closel Les Caillardieres Savennieres

Texturally generous yet fresh with a long, luscious yet dry finish.

Chenin Blanc barrel fermented and then aged in large format oak. Bright yellow straw colour with a watery hue. Expressive ripe pear, baked apple and dried honey scents mix with quince, almond and cinnamon notes. Texturally generous, the palate is filled with ripe pear, red apple and honeycomb flavours which overlay a quince, almond and cinnamon back drop. Brisk underlying acidity imparts freshness across the long, luscious yet dry finish.
Drink over the next 3-4 years.
Alc. 13.5%

Other Reviews……
Elegant and pure, with mineral energy driving honey, lemon verbena and pear flavors. Shows a silky, refined palate, with nice spice and floral details bringing lift. Delivers the focused, acid-driven side of Chenin Blanc, filled out with generous flesh. Drink now through 2032. 250 cases made.
