Savennieres Les Vieux Clos Famille Joly 2024 750ml

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.
Overview PRODUCER REGION

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

The Loire Valley is France's most diverse wine region, stretching along the country's longest river through the "Garden of France", famous for crisp whites, elegant reds, sparkling wines and fairytale châteaux.

Origin & history: Vines were planted by the Romans and spread by monks such as Saint Martin of Tours in the 4th century. During the Renaissance, French kings built their châteaux here and drank local wines. The central Loire Valley was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000.

Main appellations & varieties: Muscadet (Melon de Bourgogne), Anjou, Savennières, Saumur and Vouvray (Chenin Blanc), Chinon and Bourgueil (Cabernet Franc), Touraine, Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé (Sauvignon Blanc), plus Crémant de Loire sparkling wine.
