  August 20, 2021 - Mørkere gylden strå.
  
  Ekstremt konsentrert og intens oljete med nesten hummeraktig preg. Noe våt ull men mye tertiært og hasselnøtter.
  
  Utrolig god frukt med middels ++ fyldr. Perfekt balanse mot en bløt, fin syre. Intens men lettdrikkelig. Veldig lang. Herlig!

  March 2, 2021 - It was my last bottle of 2013 Domaine des Baumard Savennières Clos du Papillon. The developing Loire Chenin Blanc was clear and pale lemon in colour without any sediments. Inviting aromatics of honeycrisp apple, quince and melon were accompanied by lanolin, smoke and wet stone minerality.
  
  The mouthfeel was off-dry and medium-full-bodied. The flavour intensity and the touch of sweetness were balanced by high level of piquant acidity. Flavours of ripe red apples, candied lemon zest, honeysuckle blossom and a core of saline minerality persisted in a long remarkable finish. The alcohol level was at 13%.
  
  According to the winery website, the vines were grown on a slope with southern exposure, on soil composed of schist and sandstone over silica-rich volcanic rocks (rhyolite). The vineyard was four hectares, and the average vine age was 35 years old. Entire bunches of grapes were slowly pressed prior to fermentation. The wine was aged in stainless steel vats for nine months sur lie.
