Young, dry Chenin, showing almond and marzipan paste flavors, the pear fruit coming through slowly. There is some pepper along with fresh acidity, which is still working its way into the wine. It needs a few months more to integrate completely, but then fruits should dominate.

The aroma says honey, but the palate says dry. It is an attractive paradox that results in a ripe wine, full of pure white currant, star fruit and, yes, honey flavors. It is not a wine for long aging, but will keep for 2–4 years.

Now at its peak, this impressive wine is showing ripe white fruits touched with almonds, a soft texture and a rich, creamy feel. The Clos du Papillon, so called because the vineyard is shaped like a butterfly (papillon) is a star performer in Savennières.

Madame de Jessey’s spectacular property has a portion of the Clos du Papillon vineyard. This wine from the well-balanced 2006 vintage shows freshness above all, the exotic spice element layered with white peaches, just an edge of dry almond paste and acidity that wraps around all the flavors.
