Nicolas Joly
Clos de la Coulée de Serrant Savennières Chenin Blanc
Honeyed notes and peaches. Stone in the midpalate. Sweetness at the edges. A subtle, rounded wine. Whiff of marmalade

Mar 11th, 2020Tasted blind. Medium gold color. Crazy nose with notes of pineapple, tangerine, stones and some soil. Sweet pit fruit and amazing texture in the mouth. Guessed mid 80s Leflaive. Was happy being wrong with that guess. Fun wine.

Apr 27th, 2019This wine is so inconsistent but When you get a good bottle it can be outstanding. We got lucky, slightly maderized, honey suckle, good balance between acidity and sweetness. Vibrant after 22 years.

Feb 14th, 2016Nice to get this with a little age on it. Open for a couple days and could go on for many more days and still hold it together. Thanks for bringing this @Corkhoarder
