Nicolas Joly Clos de la Bergerie 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.

Tasting Notes
The 2022 vintage started uncomfortably, just as the 2020 and 2021 vintages. Frost announced itself at 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 various grapes in the presence of us. 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.
This rich and powerful wine is set to stand the test of time. The wine offers great concentration, and the wine shows typical oxidative notes balanced with the intensity of the fruit and great acidity.
