Savennières does one thing, and it does it very well: Chenin Blanc. This appellation in the Anjou region of the Loire Valley counts biodynamic superstar Nicolas Joly among its inhabitants, but he is hardly the only game in town: Domaine du Closel is a venerable, family-run property now helmed by Evelyne de Pontbriand, who has overseen her estate’s conversion to organic and biodynamic farming, for which they achieved official certification in 2015. The “Les Caillardières” bottling is a single-vineyard wine, sourced from a plot of 35-year-old vines rooted in sand and schist soils. This vineyard is purposefully harvested a little later each year, to create a bottling with a richer texture and even a hint of residual sugar, which the Chenin Blanc variety is uniquely well-suited to manage. The wine is aged in used barrels and offers up a heady mix of saturated quince, apple, and pear fruit balanced by racy acidity and gripping minerality. A luscious, lip-smacking white for richer seafood preparations, cheeses, or spicy Asian fare like salt and pepper prawns.
