Tasting notes

Golden yellow. Ripe quince, honeyed apple, acacia and almond, with smoky, flinty undertones. The palate is rich yet dry, with a waxy texture, bracing acidity and a mineral, slightly saline backbone. The finish is long and gently bitter, in the best Chenin manner.

About this wine

Clos de la Bergerie lies within Savennières-Roche aux Moines, a small appellation on the steep schist slopes above the Loire, and has been farmed biodynamically by the Joly family for four decades.

The Chenin Blanc is harvested in successive passes as the grapes reach full ripeness, pressed slowly and fermented with native yeasts in old oak. The wine ages on its lees without fining, filtration or temperature control, and is bottled with very little sulphur.

It is less austere than Coulée de Serrant but shares its depth, and it opens best in a large glass.
