Domaine des Baumard, Savennières (Loire Valley, France) Clos du Papillon 2008

($38):  As good as Baumard’s regular bottling of Savennières is, this one, from a particularly well-sited vineyard, is even better. With more complexity, the interplay of richness and savory herbal notes in the Clos du Papillon creates even more intrigue.  Despite the increased concentration, this maintains impeccable balance and finesse.
