Clos de la Coulée de Serrant Savennières Chenin Blanc
Less oxidation than I remember from 90s and early 2000s. Typical biodynamic color (straw yellow) and nose.

Jun 19th, 2020Yes it is biodynamic which I tend to dislike, moreover this wine travels very badly and most of the bottles I drunk in the USA were bad. Surprise this one is really good. Color straw golden (my wife immediately caught on and looked surprised until I told her “bio”. Slightly oxidative, smokey, good mineral content. Warm vintage but pulls it off. Best coulee I ever tasted in NY.

Incredibly smooth with notes of pear, honeysuckle,pineapple, ginger (gingerbread cookies), lemon peel, and chamomile tea.... amazing how this wine continues to change as it opens up.... very different and interesting. 😀🇨🇵🍷Santè
