WineFinder: 2003 Closel Savennieres Clos du Papillon $10

Only a few bottles left, but a good deal:

They accidentally sent me a bottle of the Moelleux instead, which is an outstanding deal.

For those that are browsing, there are also some closeout Edmunds St. Johns.

Any recent TNs on the 03 CdP?

Given all the comments on the 02 CdP falling apart (which I haven't been able to test for myself yet) I can imagine that the 03 might be in even worse shape.

Hmm, I had the '02 Jalousie (which should be earlier drinking)recently, seemed fine to me. I guess I should open an '02 CdPapillon and see what's happening.

We opened an '02 Jalousie a week or two ago that was oxidized to the extreme, though that's a single data point and may not mean anything. I've got an '02 Papillon that I plan to open in the near future.

The moelleux I had (imported by Dressner) was fresh, and improved dramatically when I left it uncorked on the table overnight, so I'm not worried about it suffering from oxidation. I'll post if I manage to get some of the sec.

Huh? I tried (and posted) on one about 2-3 months ago. It's beginning maturity, but not at all falling apart and was rather delicious.

Good to hear. There have been both positive and negative comments but I haven't tasted the wine in 2 years so I have no personal experience. I am looking forward to drinking one of my bottles when I get the chance.
