Domaine du Closel-Château des Vaults

Winter having buried us for December, January, and February, we have barely opened a good bottle of white in weeks. Last week, we finally decided to open up this bottle that Jennifer had picked up back in the fall.

It's a 2004 Domaine du Closel-Château des Vaults Clos du Papillon Savenniéres—part of our batch of French wine purchased to prep us for our honeymoon. This was a delicate, crisp wine with an extremely complex flavor. There was more grape than I expected, but there was a lot of peach and nectarine, as well as a wonderful sensation of wild flowers.

Highly recommended.
