Tasting notes

Deep gold. Quince, dried pear, chamomile and beeswax lead the nose, with smoke, wool and a note of orchard skin. The palate is broad and textural, almost waxy, with firm acidity and a dry, gently tannic grip. The finish is long, savoury and faintly bitter.

About this wine

Nicolas Joly began converting his family estate at Coulée de Serrant to biodynamics in 1980 and has since become its best-known international advocate. The vineyards above the Loire at Savennières are worked by horse, with no herbicides, no added yeasts and minimal sulphur.

Les Vieux Clos is a Chenin Blanc from older parcels on schist and sandstone slopes. The grapes are picked in several passes, fermented spontaneously in old barrels and left on their lees for months before bottling, with no attempt to polish the wine into a conventional shape.

It is a wine of texture and grip rather than fruit.
