Savennieres Les Vieux Clos Coulee Serrant 2020 Nicolas Joly
Nicolas Joly's Savennieres Les Vieux Clos is a natural white wine from the Loire region that is simply unbeatable.
A fat and opulent wine, but one that retains its elegance and drinkability.
The power is impactful at times, but it is the minerality that balances the palate well.
A wine to be uncorked a couple of hours before drinking it to allow proper oxygenation.
This extraordinary 100% Chenin Blanc underwent spontaneous fermentation and an eight-month maturation on its fine lees in second-passage tonneaux.
A wine of long ageing with great olfactory intensity and also suitable as a meditation wine (i.e. to be drunk alone).
If you want to pair it with food, shellfish are perfect.
