Nicolas Joly Clos de la Coulee de Serrant 2022
Nicolas Joly returned, leaving behind a career in finance, to the fabled Coulée de Serrant in 1977. The celebrated vineyard, which comprises its own appellation, was planted in the 1130s. At first, he implemented modern agricultural methods, but after three years, he became troubled by subtle but noticeable alterations in the vineyards. After reading a book on biodynamics that he picked up by chance, he became fascinated by the concept and embarked on an experimental reconversion of a small area of vineyards. Rapidly convinced by the results, he started to implement biodynamic practices across the estate and has been Demeter and Ecocert certified since 1984.

Vineyards
Clos de la Coulee de Serrant, Savennieres, Loire Valley, France
Winemaking and Maturation
It was fermented naturally with 100% indigenous yeasts without temperature control. The wine went through full malolactic fermentation naturally, followed by a period of ageing for 12 months in used oak barrels. No fining or filtering was done before bottling.
Tasting Notes
Considered one of the greatest white wines in France. A remarkable expression of the land, this Chenin Blanc is produced from vines aged 55-60 years old. The site where the vines are planted has continuously produced wine for a consecutive 894 vintages since 1130. Unparalleled in intensity and complexity, the energy of the property is bottled in this iconic and limited offering that will develop for years to come.
The 2022 vintage started uncomfortably, just as the 2020 and 2021 vintages. Frost announced itself the end of April. Even if it had indeed some impact, we still lost much, much less than in previous years. A rainy period followed during flowering in the Spring, therefore we had a various presence of grapes. Summer was very hot and very dry. At the beginning of August, berries were not bigger than peas. Because of the lack of water, we started to doubt even being able to harvest! Finally, some rain arrived at the end of August, and the maturity of the grapes progressed quickly in very good conditions. Because of the high temperature, we could harvest only in the mornings. The result is a very elegant and balanced vintage representative of a great Chenin from the Loire Valley.
Vintage 2022 the Couleé de Serrant is a sweet wine with 32 grams of residual sugar. It has a very nice balance, complexity and intense deepness, a wine that, of course, deserves to be a bit forgotten in your cellar.
