Wine Region: Loire - France
Grape: 100% Chenin Blanc.
Tasting notes:This iconic wine, with its own appellation, is dense and full of power. Its flavors of apricot and honey are balanced by great concentrated waves of richness and intense acidity. The wine is young and will age forever. Drink from 2025 at the earliest. Organic and biodynamic.
Expert Rating: Wine Enthusiast 95/100.
About the winery: Exclusively owned by the Joly family, La Coulée de Serrant vineyard is a controlled appellation of only 7 hectares.
Located in the Loire Valley of France, the vineyard has produced Chenin for close to a millennium, of a quality renowned enough to be praised in print by author Alexandre Dumas in the 1840s. In the early 1980s, Nicolas Joly decided to adopt biodynamic practices.
A decade and a half later Wine Spectator Magazine was ranking his white wine as among the best in the Loire Valley, and a decade later wine critic Jancis Robinson said his property was ' clearly destined to be one the world's great vineyards'. Maybe the best and most famous Chenin Blanc in the world.
