March 28, 2022 - Medium yellow, lime, melon nose, lime, melon and kiwi on palate. Very smooth and mouth coating with just enough acidity. Fruit-laden long finish.Wine has aged very well and did not show any flaws. Served with grilled cod.

June 3, 2020 - One of the best Savennieres I've had, perhaps drinking it before its old age. Dry of course, but plenty of fruit, maybe muskmelon, and a bit of lanolin. Good length. Excellent "food wine."

January 29, 2019 - Delightful example of La Jalousie, which I tend to think of as less age worthy than the Clos du Papillon. not inferior but just a very different wine. This had nice bracing acidity, beautiful scents of lemongrass, chalk, and lime. After about 30 minutes the bouquet opened up beautifully into pine resin, pink grapefruit. Noticeable minerality. Supple on the tongue, very refreshing. Excellent value. Drink now.
Score : 91. Relative to expectations: + -

November 5, 2016 - A richer style of Chenin, drinking well. Pretty bouquet, consistent on the palate. No rush. Waitrose £16 18 months ago.
