Domaine du Closel - Le Clos du Papillon 2018 (white)

The plot of Clos du Papillon is a small valley (flow), wonderfully well exposed to the light of the Loire: there are schists, rhyolites but also quartz. These vines of various ages in this plot, are harvested in several sorts in order to pick the grapes as close as possible to their maturity. These different sorts are aged in barrels for 14 months, then 2 months in vats. This wine is very long in the mouth with a citrus attack, followed by notes of ripe fruit, exotic fruits and a nice bitterness of toasted almonds on the finish. The long aging on lees gives it a very nice fat. Pure, straight and very elegant.
