Colour

Its color is intense yellow, almost golden and bright.

AROMA:

The nose is intense and shows a wide range of fruity and spicy notes, with hints of ripe yellow flesh fruit, pineapple, almond, anise, licorice.

TASTE:

Complex on the palate. Fruit of chenin vines, from a vineyard of approximately 20 years old, planted in schist soils, with quartz and sand. It is a wine vinified in oak barrels that brings together all the aromas that we have previously found on the nose, enveloping and round, it is elegant and pure, with notes of citrus and ripe fruit. It shows a perfect balance and has a persistent and fresh finish, with saline notes.

It pairs perfectly with braised dishes, stewed white meats, fish main courses and intense cured cheeses.

The historic vineyard of Clos de Couleé de Serrant is a real star in the Loire Valley and the Savannieres. The first vines were planted in 1130 by Cistercian monks. Nicolas Joly is the owner of the 7 hectares together with his daughter Virginie. In 1984 it was decided that a more natural approach would be better for the Coulee de Serrant vineyard. Since then the entire vineyard is cultivated under the criteria of biodynamic agriculture. The Chenin grown in the vineyard are between 40 and 80 years old, and are located around the Loire River, where they face south and south-east, with spectacular slopes in some parts. Domaine de la Couleé de Serrant only produces 50,000 bottles per year, a fact that guarantees an extraordinary quality in each of its bottles.
