"One of the estate's emblematic cuvées, elegant and harmonious".

"Clos de Coulaine 2021 has a lively, delicate bouquet with aromas of lemon oil, herbs, sage, spring flowers and white flowers mixed with hints of lemon oil. Medium to full-bodied, lively and fragrant, the wine is smooth, homogeneous and complete. It's an elegant interpretation of this historic Savennières terroir." (Robert Parker 2024).

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Domain rated (guide 2024) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)

About the domain :

This 45-hectare vineyard, 80% of which is planted with Chenin, produces all styles of white wine. René vinifies, while his older brother Christophe works the vines. Not organic, of course, but the soils are worked "their way". In the cellar, the same care prevails, with a variety of vats of all kinds (stainless steel, cement, cylindrical, underground, Stockinger 30-hl wooden vats, etc.), capable of chiseling out nuanced, complex wines. The sweet wines are the estate's greatest strength, as is the 13-hectare Savennières series, impeccable in its precision. The small rosé and red cuvées are a step below, and the whites tasted this year are too irregular to retain the third BD.

Domain Rated Award-winning wines (Wines from this producer regularly win awards in the guide)

About the domain :

This 46-hectare estate, born of the merger of two family farms, has been run by René Papin since 2010. An estate particularly renowned for the quality of its white wines, both dry and sweet. Not to be missed.

Wine rated (2024 guide) 93/100

About the wine:

The Savennières Clos de Coulaine 2021 reflects low yields marked by frost. There's just enough flesh on the mid-palate, thanks to 18 months on the lees, joined by a firm line of acidity and minerality, giving line and length. It takes off on the finish with a spicy touch and floral, flinty characters.
