Based in Savennières, Domaine du Closel Château des Vaults farms biodynamic vineyards rooted in schist soils typical of the appellation. Les Caillardières is a Chenin Blanc sourced from rocky parcels producing structured and mineral wines. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged in French oak barrels, it balances texture with freshness. The warm yet balanced 2022 vintage shows ripeness with tension. Compared to Clos du Papillon, Les Caillardières is slightly more direct and mineral-driven, combining citrus, orchard fruit and pronounced schist minerality with long, structured finish. https://www.savennieres-closel.com/
