This gold-colored wine has an aromatic nose of pureed apple, clove and vanilla baking spice, quince, brioche, toasted walnuts, ginger and orange peel. The creamy-textured wine is fruit forward with an underlying baking spice that imparts depth and focus. As with many things that get better with age, you can drink now, but this wine will continue to improve in the bottle until 2029

	Wine Enthusiast
95 points	The vineyard shaped like a butterfly (papillon) is one of the top vineyards in Savennières. Steeply sloped, it produces an intense wine with high acidity and steely white fruits when young. This wine will soften beautifully, giving richness, always a nutty character over the bone dry aftertaste. Drink from 2026.
	Wine Spirits
95 points	If you love chenin, as I do, do yourself a favor and pour a glass of this wine. You’ll be welcomed into a gracious aristocratic pleasure of the Loire and, maybe, as the silken grace of this vinous bliss threatens to leave you but just keeps lasting for minutes, you’ll think to yourself, this golden beauty is one reason why it’s great to be alive. Or maybe you’ll think of the best peach you can remember tasting, concentrated in its sweetness yet so deft and elegant it simply won’t leave your memory.
	Vinous
92 points	I love the purity and personality of the 2019 Clos du Papillon. It has a sense of roundness and curved edges, yet maintains a sense of lightness and focus on its feet. The aromas and flavors are highly attractive: fresh apple fruit, florals and delicate almond feel. Based on previous vintages, this will gain more complexity, weight and savory layers with a decade under its belt. Yes, you could drink it now, but it'll be a lot more interesting if you wait.
