Nicolas Joly Clos de la Coulée de Serrant is the epitome of Chenin Blanc every wine enthusiast ought to try at least once in a lifetime.
Tasting Clos de la Coulée de Serrant is always a fascinating experience. This time I compared 2016 and 1999 vintages. I opened them two days prior to tasting.
Both wines manifest Chenin Blanc in pronounced escalating acidity.
2016 was a pale golden yellow color. It opened with aromas of peach compote and showed plenty of yellow fruits. 15% Alc. was well integrated. Bitter touch of botrytis and citrus finish.
1999 was amber gold. Inviting floral aromas, honey, crushed almonds and intoxicating rich bouquet leaving pleasant mouthfeel. Autumn wine with a signature botrytis accent. Full of grace in its early adulthood.
This is the extract from the latest article about Nicolas Joly on my website.
