"Color: bright; Nose: discreet; Aromas: mineral, nutty, tree fruit; Acidity: lively; Sweetness: medium dry; Body: medium-bodied; Finish: medium; Overall: well balanced; aromas of honey, almond and white peach. Rather medium-bodied with some fatness on the palate."

"This opulent white is 100% chenin blanc from a group of land parcels shaped like a butterfly (papillon) above the village of Savennières. The wine is voluminous and complex, with nuances of quince, fuji apple and vanilla cream. Ideal with a cheese course, I recommend a slice of Comté or Crottin de Chavignol."
