DESCRIPTION

"Les Vieux Clos" from Famille Joly offers a layered and expressive interpretation of Chenin Blanc from the schist-rich slopes of Savennières. The wine opens with notes of citrus, quince, and white flowers, accompanied by subtle herbal and mineral nuances. On the palate, it is textured and finely structured, with lively acidity providing lift and definition. A gentle roundness adds harmony without diminishing freshness. Long, precise, and quietly powerful, this cuvée reflects the depth and tension characteristic of the appellation's distinct terroirs.

EYE

Pale gold with bright, luminous reflections that emphasize clarity and freshness, while the brilliance in the glass indicates careful vinification.

NOSE

Aromas of lemon zest, quince, and white peach unfold with floral, herbal, and mineral notes, offering a complex and expressive bouquet.

MOUTH

On the palate, the wine is textured and balanced, with fresh acidity supporting layered fruit and a fine, persistent mineral line. The finish is long, elegant, and quietly intense.

PAIRING

Ideal with seafood, shellfish, light poultry, aged goat cheese, or refined vegetable dishes. Its tension and depth make it well suited for thoughtful, seasonal cuisine.

Vignoble de la Coulée de Serrant

Vignoble de la Coulée de Serrant is the historic estate of the Joly family, known for cultivating some of the most emblematic Chenin Blanc vineyards in Savennières. While the domaine is best known for the unique monopole of La Coulée de Serrant, “Les Vieux Clos” reflects a distinct expression produced within the wider Savennières appellation.

Loire

With 2,000 years of history featuring kings'castles and fortresses, the Loire Valley is home to 31 appelations, starting in the Muscadet to the west near the Atlantic Ocean, passing by Chinon, Vouvray and the Touraine in the middle, to end to the famous village of Sancerre, located all the way to the East. This region cultivates 24 grape varietals which offer a very diverse tasting and culinary experience. From mineral whites such as Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc or Melon de Bourgogne (aka grape use in Muscadet) to light and spicy reds, such as Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir or Gamay. It is also France's third largest wine growing region, featuring a temperate climate and diverse terroirs influenced by the Atlantic ocean and the proximity of the Loire river. Enjoy white loire wines with goat cheese or seafood, and the reds with spicy cuisine and vegeterian dishes.
