WINE DESCRIPTION

Domaine des Baumard Savennières Clos du Papillon is a highly regarded white wine produced by Domaine des Baumard, a renowned winery in the Loire Valley of France. The wine is made from Chenin Blanc grapes grown in the Savennières appellation, which is known for its unique terroir of schist and sandstone soils. The Clos du Papillon vineyard is particularly special, as it is situated on a south-facing slope with a microclimate that allows for optimal ripening of the grapes. The winemaking process involves a combination of traditional and modern techniques, resulting in a wine that is both complex and elegant. The style of the wine is dry, with notes of citrus, honey, and minerality, making it a perfect pairing for seafood and poultry dishes.
