La Coulée D'ambrosia

Nicolas Joly

Clos de la Coulée de Serrant Moelleux Chenin Blanc 2022

I did not know that it existed and I had way too much wine to order another bottle but could not resist trying it. It is very complex, extremely aromatic, starts out as a dry wine and gradually develops in the glass, very smooth but with very nice acidity true to a chenin. Wonderful. — 9 days ago

La Coulée d’Aunis Saumur Chenin Blanc 2018

Nosegasm, even refrigerator cold.
This wine is everything I love about chenin blanc. Spice, cola, floral honey in the nostrils. A honey velvet texture a lingering aftertaste, perfect refreshing acid balance. Damn good wine.

Le Villageois Loire Cabernet Franc 2015

Right up my alley! Not complex or very long, but one hundred percent joy. From about one ha vineyard, raised in old barrels. Nothing added. Wild fruit bomb containing lots of black currant, blackberries, grass and bell pepper. Medium tannins, astringent and coarse texture. — 5 years ago

"S" Slatnik Venezia Giulia Chardonnay Tocai Friulano 2021

At first it reminded me of a Normandy craft cider. Then I poured some in my glass and the colour struck me. It's orangey and clearly turbid. Not your casual chardonnay Sunday evening pour. The nose is verrrryyy complex, pear, apple, honey, elderflower, white pepper, some slight apricot touch and some yeasty notes too (?). The palate is great too, good acid drive, pear and apple, honey, good width, soft mouthfeel that turns into a tannic wall in the rear that caresses the tongue before powering a multi-layered finish with honey, apricot, apple, pear, a savoury, salty touch. Wow this is wild. It's absolutely not the same wine nor the same tastes and varietals but this reminds to some extent of Joly's wines from la Coulée de Serrant. Extremist in the approach somehow. These guys will die on that hill with their ideas. — 2 years ago

@Jay Kline it struck me like an evidence, eventhough the wines have nothing in common 🤷🏻‍♂️

Domaine de la Coulée de Serrant

Cuvée du Château Savennières Chenin Blanc 1995

Savennières Cuvée du château 1995, Nicolas Joly. Domaine de la Coulée de Serrant.

The nose is a bit muted right now and only displays mushroom and forest soil scents. No sign of oxydation though which I was expecting.
The palate is very wide and long. What a Chenin! Very strong acid backbone that goes for ever, apple and lemon all along, some thickness and viscosity on the sides with a strong grip. The touch is almost the one of a moelleux. This is unreal. The finish is apple and lemon and eternal freshness. It lasts for more than a minute. Great wine!
