The 2018 Clos du Papillon reveals a vibrant, lively bouquet with aromas of gentian, herbs, ripe orchard fruits and spices. Medium to full-bodied, ample and rich, creamy and satiny, it’s fresh and ends with a lemony, penetrating finish despite some residual sugar. Bottled with a screw-cap closure.

This is a fuller, creamy style of Clos du Papillon probably due to the warmer season. The 2018 is a full bodied with relatively rich fruit for a Savennières, all baked apple fruits, baking spices and nutty characters. It's young yet ready to drink. It will evolve but will it improve? I'm not convinced.
