“Coulée de Serrant” Savennières 2021 White - Nicolas Joly

Region: Loire

Grape variety: 100% Chenin
Vintage: 2013
White colour
Quantity: 75cl

Slightly oxidative nose with notes of beeswax, apricot, toast, fresh bread which evolves into an almost candied fruit, and an almost muscat side. Aromas that are found in the mouth, but coated with great freshness and sweet bitterness, like a fruit ice cube. A real character which asserts itself in a particularly intense and ample, almost telluric finish! Limited in stock.

DOMAIN



Exclusive property of the Joly family, the Coulée de Serrant vineyard alone constitutes a controlled designation of only 7 hectares. The vineyard was planted in 1130 by Cistercian monks and today consists of vines ranging from 35 to 80 years old. The old small monastery still exists and a few hundred meters away the Roche aux Moines castle was built, dismantled during the wars of religion. Always considered a rare and unique product, Coulée de Serrant was celebrated by Louis XI and Louis XIV as one of the best French white wines. The vineyard is cultivated partly by hand and by horse due to the steepness of its slopes which overlook the Loire. Since 1984, the entire estate has been cultivated using biodynamic farming methods. Three wines are produced in small quantities at the property and benefit from the principles of biodynamic agriculture: “Coulée de Serrant”, “Clos de la Bergerie” and “Les Vieux Clos”
