Clos de la Coulée de Serrant Savennières Chenin Blanc

Chilled and opened about an hour before dinner and allowed to gently come to temp. Served alongside charcoal grilled Thai sausage, sticky rice, coconut Thai curry, herb salad, shallot, lime, garlic, chiles. Tonight, this bottle was nothing short of remarkable. A deep golden color with gorgeous notes of squishy tropical fruit, white flowers, and turmeric. Wooly and waxy with acid for dayzzz. Stunning now but this bottle would show well through 2029 without breaking a sweat.

Amber in color, drinking quite well. It’s a bit exotic, and alcohol is a little elevated. Bruised yellow apples, orange oil, a touch of oxidative notes, baked hazelnuts and acacia honey. Persistent finish.

Over the top Joly! Minute long finish.

pretty much evolved nose of caramel, honey, orange, anise; crazy fresh palate instead, mouthwatering acidity!

Christmas wine, or one of the 4 bottles... Top after 8 hours in the decanter:)

Nicolas Joly, Clos de la Culee de Serrant 1999

Oxidized. When Joly is on, he’s great. But often, he’s off. A well-stored bottle that was way past it’s prime.

Vieille or cuivre
Nez curry d épicé de gentiane qui devient dominé par le cury
Bouche attaque grasse pui grande fraîcheur et longueur énorme un vin transformé après presque 48h d ouverture

Drinking so well right now! Very generous fruit, beeswax and honey aromas. Textured and fresh. Round with elegance. Great wine!
