Nicolas Joly
Nicholas Joly left JP Morgan to run the Coulee de Serrant estate in 1977. Situated in Savennieres, this is Chenin Blanc country. Joly's fortunes turned after reading a book by Rudolf Steiner about biodynamic principles. First trialling the ideas he then changed his approach and rejuvenated the vines. His approach produces wine with identity and expression.

Wine Advocate (95+)The yellow-golden 2014 Clos de la Coulée de Serrant, a world famous and iconic Chenin with its own appellation (Savennières – Coulée de Serrant AC), opens with a beautifully clear, precise and aromatic bouquet of ripe and dried, lovely concentrated stone and grapefruit, as well as some honey aromas intermixed with crushed crystalline stones and herbal flavors. Highly elegant, clear and vital on the palate, this full-bodied wine is immensely intense but also silky, transparent and finesse-full. The long and stimulating finish is enormously piquant and salty, very compact but in perfect balance. There are dried Mediterranean herbs like thyme along with concentrated apricot and quince flavors in the persistent aftertaste. A great, elegant and very refined Coulée. |

Vinous (96)A profound, challenging wine. Deep aromas and flavors of pear, quince, baked grapefruit, spice, touch of smoked honey and even tobacco. Racy and intense on the palate, with an underlying core of crushed stone throughout. This is elegant and vital, the very opposite of austere, while the finish is fresh and electric. Memorable and unique. |

Vinous (91)This young Clos de la Coulée de Serrant is soft, round and mouthfilling. The fruit quality of the 2020 is concentrated and succulent without weight, but there's a light farmyardy character to the wine. Offering excellent grip and a fiery schist-derived finish. The alcohol (14.5%) is lightly warming but compared with some previous vintages, it's a little better judged. |
