Based in Savennières, Domaine du Closel Château des Vaults farms historic Chenin Blanc vineyards rooted in schist soils. Clos du Papillon is a renowned site producing long-lived wines with strong mineral identity. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged in French oak barrels, the wine develops complexity over time. The warm 2005 vintage offered both concentration and balance. With extended bottle ageing, the wine shows evolved character, combining dried apple, honey, toasted almond and pronounced mineral structure with remarkable persistence and maturity. https://www.savennieres-closel.com/
