Les Vignobles de la Coulée de Serrant - Savennières - Clos de la Coulée de Serrant - Blanc - 2021

Wine:

The latest addition to the estate, the 2021 white Savennières Clos de la Coulée de Serrant once again asserts its singular character around finely oxidative notes that will find a unique resonance over time. This is a wine that needs to be waited for, and not only cellared, but also aerated for a long time before serving. At this stage of youth, notes of beeswax, apricot and wheat emerge, which gradually evolve into very ripe, almost candied flavors of fruit. The palate oscillates with grace between freshness and delicate bitters, unfolding a supple, ample and long body, which ends on a vibrant and intense finish. All the markers of success are already here!

Vinification:

One of the leading figures of biodynamic agriculture, Nicolas Joly is an emblematic winemaker of the Loire Valley. A great craftsman and true artist who creates great white wines capable of decades of aging, which earned him a second star in the RVF Green Guide.
