"White flowers intermingled with verbena can be found in the 1996 Savennieres Clos du Papillon's nose. This vibrant offering is rich, extremely delineated, medium-bodied, and super-focused. Highly-detailed flavors of herbal teas, minerals, flint, and lemon are found in this crystalline wine. It is as pure as and sublimely balanced as a wine can be."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
A versatile Loire white of high acidity, making dry, sweet and sparkling wines of honey, quince and remarkable longevity.
