Domaine Du Closel Savennières La Jalousie

The palate is bright, textural, and mineral‑driven, opening with pear, quince, and lemon oil. The fruit feels fresh and lifted, shaped by early picking and stainless‑steel élevage that preserves purity. A mid‑palate of baked apple, feijoa, and gentle baking spice adds quiet richness, while the lees work brings a silky, lightly creamy texture threaded with chalky acidity. The wine moves with a linear, racy line, carrying orchard fruit and subtle honeyed tones without heaviness. As it opens, hints of hazelnut, wet stone, and citrus zest emerge, adding depth and savoury nuance. The finish is long, dry, and mineral, tapering with notes of lemon pith, quince skin, and a faint saline echo. Overall, it’s a fresh, modern, beautifully balanced Savennières — textural but brisk, mineral but quietly generous, and a superb introduction to Closel’s style.
