Description
"From the monopole and single vineyard AOC of Coulee de Serrant comes Nicolas Joly’s top flight chenin blanc. Of course Joly’s name is synonymous with some of the most concerted and dedicated biodynamic farming in the wine world. This chenin blanc arguably one of the most chased down whites from France. Fancy as."
- Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)
From one of France’s most legendary sites, the 2023 La Coulée de Serrant is a profound expression of Chenin Blanc made by one of the Loire’s most pioneering biodynamic producers. Planted in 1130 by Cistercian monks and continuously farmed since, the vineyard is now cared for by the Joly family, where it remains a Monopole.
The 2023 vintage demanded patience and meticulous care, with a long, cool growing season that extended well into October. Early threats of frost and challenging summer weather required close vineyard work, but the result is a wine that rewards that effort, offering depth, balance, and the kind of natural energy that defines this iconic site.
Expect an intense yet elegant wine with layered fruit, a distinct mineral backbone from the schist and quartz soils, and a subtle creaminess from aging in old oak barrels. It’s a wine of both concentration and finesse, worthy of cellaring to fully appreciate its evolution.
Nicolas Joly’s La Coulée de Serrant is not just a wine; it’s a piece of French viticultural history that invites contemplation and rewards patience.
"This iconic wine, with its own appellation, is dense and full of power."
