October 21, 2022 - Lovely Chenin richness and finesse in this butterfly. Baumards Papillon in the 2011 vintage bursts of spicy yellow fruits like nectarine, apricot, apple and grapefruit. Telltale aromas of lanolin, honey, beezwax, honey, safforon and hints of flint. Rich and spicy yellow stonefruit, strong minerality and balanced acidity on the palate. Complex and powerful, with a long, balanced, mineral driven finish. Elegant power-Chenin, this one.

Plutôt muet et mince même à la limite.
Déception cette bouteille! -
