Neem even contact met ons op als je deze wijn wilt bestellen. De wijn is niet altijd op voorraad. Prijs op aanvraag. Het jaartal op het etiket is slechts een voorbeeld. 

Fantastische en zeer krachtige Chenin Blanc! Een wijn van een uitzonderlijke kwaliteit. Oranje geel. Geurend naar zeer rijp, met gedroogd geel fruit, stro, notenolie, bijenwas en een lichte botrytis geur. In de mond een zeer zachte aanzet, enorm veel kracht en geweldige integratie van de alcohol. Een wijn met een licht zoutige mineraliteit en prachtige rijpe zuren leiden tot een enorme afdronk.

Een wijn welke bij zeer veel gerechten geserveerd kan worden. Bijvoorbeeld bij gevogelte (kip/ fazant etc) met paddestoelen, kreeft in saus, kalfs- of varkensvleesgerechten, kaasplateau's, Coquilles Saint Jacques, snoekbaars in botersaus.

Een gemiddelde oogt van 20 tot 25 hectoliter per hectare voor deze wijn, terwij 50 hl/ha is toegestaan.

- Coulee de Serrant 2005: Outrageous, fresh piercing apple/peach blossom, fresh MacIntosh apple, sweet candied citrus peel, almost too complex to describe. A wine lover’s wine.Full, fat, high alcohol, incredible depth and weight, loads of glycerol, dramatic complexity. Words fail. This is long-living wine. Absolutely decant 6 hours ahead, or cellar for 10 years. 97 points

VINE MAGAZINE Master Sommelier John Szabo Srping 2007

-“Coulée de Serrant 2004 : Reserved aromas of pineapple, butterscotch and cedar with a lightening vanilla note. Plush and quite racy flavors of baked appel, macerated apricot and lots of honey. Very long finish concludes on a palatefriendly sweet note. (94/100). Clos de la Bergerie 2004 AOC Roche aux Moines 93/100 – Clos Sacré 2004 AOC Savennières 92/100

WINE NEWS Nov 2006

-“Restrained, but very pure and focused, with a beam of ginger, quince and persimmon flavour, that then ripples through a minerally finish. Deceptively long. This is rather tight now, so cellar to let the precision blossom.” (92/100)

WINE SPECTATOR J. Molesworth, July 2006 

-“Already quiet open, the 2004 announces himself as a great vintage with very clear flavours, incredible complex blossom and fruit concentrate. A  pure acidity. This is a wine “improved by life forces” for sure.

LES ECHOS week end, February 2006

-“Coulée de Serrant 2002: When Joly gets it right, his wines can sing. (…) It’s completely driven by intense minerality, encasing a fresh, deeply wound core of honey, beeswax and clove that lies coiled like a spring. (…) The greatest Coulée de Serrant of the last decade. (…)” 94/100  WINE AND SPIRIT-Buying guide-100 best wines-Winter 2005

-“Coulée de Serrant 2002: This almost vertical vineyard, dropping down to the Loire, facing due south, makes a mythical wine that is powerful and laden with exotic fruit flavors: oranges, lemon, apricots, accented with spices and the tannins of a youthful white wine; This will last for decades.” 95/100  WINE ENTUSIAST April 2005

-“Coulée de Serrant 1999: Burnished gold hue with a tea-brown tint. Warm aromas of orange, stone fruit, anise, honey, lanolin. Excellent balance with generous flavors of apricot, tobacco, parafin and honey that manage to be both juicy and lean. A caramel notein the long, viscous, white pepper-infused close.” WINE NEWS Novembre 2004

-“Coulée de Serrant 2002: lively and surprising, with complex aromas and flavors that evolve in the mouth; rich mouth filling texture.

NEW YORK TIMES, E. Asimov Sept 2004

-“Coulée de Serrant 2002 : Rather tight now, with a strong, sinewy feel to the ginger, chamomile, orange blossom, quince and humus notes. Almost bony, but it reveals some of its latent flesh with time in the glass, then turns remarkably elegant and lengthy in the end.”  93 /100   WINE SPECTATOR WEEKLY, J. Molesworth August 2004     

-“…Loire winemaker Nicolas Joly was a pioneer in biodynamics in 1980 and is still one of the movement’s leading figures. his 100 percent old-vine Chenin Blanc is one of the world’s most distinctive wines.” FOOD AND WINE, Richard Nalley January 2004

- “…since 1995 the wine has been magnificent. The aroma can be explosive; a sublime cocktail of apricot and quince, with occasional touch of honey or caramel. The palate is sumptuous and full bodied, lush but not heavy, velvety in texture with an occasional hint of white pepper and grainy tannin, and a firm vein of acidity running through it, culminating in a long rich finish. His Roche aux Moines called Clos de la Bergerie, is almost as spectacular, and his regular Savennières is similar instyle but on a somewhat diminished scale. Coulée de Serrant is the supreme terroir of Savennières, and vindicates those who makes extravagant claims for the greatness of its soils.” DECANTER, Stephen Brook October 2003

-“Nicolas Joly’s biodynamic methods really do seem to work. Coulée de Serrant has become more noble, more intensely flavoured and more complex over the last decade. It hardly has to be said that it has become more individual. Coulee de Serrant 2001: More concentrated and more depth than the Clos de la Bergerie. Richer and fatter. Even more individuality and class. Almost a suggestion of honey yet bone-dry. Lovely finish. This is very good indeed. THE VINES, Clive Coates  August 2003

-“Coulée de Serrant 2001: A wild wine, with electric gold color, piercing aromas of lemon zest, humus and chalk, and live-wire notes of citrus, mineral, spice and earth. The long finish alternates between sweet and sour, lean and lush....” 93/100

Savennières-Roche aux Moines-Clos de la bergerie 2001 : 91/100 ; Savennières-Bécherelle 2001 : 89/100.” WINE SPECTATOR  James Molesworth August 2003                                           

-“…the currently available 1999 was the most extraordinary at the Bunch tasting. The yellow-gold has nothing varietal about it whatever, except perhaps in the acidity that balances the dry richness which has the length and weight of a Montrachet.” DECANTER Steven Spurrier March 2003

-“Coulée de Serrant 2000: 93/100 The power of rock. This staunch wine is all about individuality, mineral and juice insinuating together. The youthful scent in baked apple and smoky quince; the severe acidity keeps the fruit tense for all its robust weight. Rich now, this will only grow richer, more aristocratic and more generous with age. Under Joly’s biodynamic care, this historic vineyard produces one of the most distinctive and expressive wines of the Loire”.

WINE AND SPIRIT April 2003

-“Top 25 Vineyard of the world: It’s not often that chenin blanc turns heads. And a wine from Coulée de Serrant is chenin in all its possible glory, decked out in sumptuous fruit, dazzling minerals and a compelling funk, different from but as delicious as truffles.” WINE AND SPIRIT, Fall 2002

                                                                                                                                      -“Nicolas Joly is right: he is not a winemaker. He is a thinker, a talker and an idealist, with a captivating passion for his work. His wine is simply the end result of a much greater process.” DECANTER, Beverly Blanning February 2002

 -“Coulée de Serrant…among the most distinctive wines today…” WINE SPECTATOR  2002
