2006 La Jalousie, Savennières, Domaine du Closel

2006 La Jalouise, Savennières, Domaine du Closel, Château des Vaults

La Jalousie is the de Jessey family's Savennières from young vines. The 2006 La Jalousie is quite rich with honeyed and beeswax flavours along with a touch of quince. We didn't finish the bottle at one sitting and the longer it was open, the more the beeswax character became dominant. This waxy character is likely to divide opinion over this wine. Drinking well now, this Closel Savennières could be kept for at least another five years.

This was a sample from the Colchester Wine Company.
